About

This study was amended from expanded access to a clinical trial. Information will be collected about long-term safety and effectiveness of adrabetadex shots in the spine every 2 weeks.

Participants who were already taking adrabetadex will receive their stable dose. Participants who have not ever taken it will start by receiving 400 mg.

Participants will receive treatment every 2 weeks until their doctor finds it does not help them anymore, they withdraw, or the study is stopped for any reason. Participants will not receive additional study treatment after their participation in this protocol.
