Giving one of these patients a placebo isn't depriving them of anything other than a drug we suspect is beneficial. It is not as though to be in the trial they aren't able to take any other beneficial treatments available to them (of which there aren't any). At least this is my understanding from the reading I've done. To that end, look at the "Arms & Interventions" section of the revised/updated trial where it lists a Placebo as part of the trial. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/history/NCT02598661?A=1&B=28&C=merged#StudyPageTop

Happy to learn what I've missed as I am not claiming to be an expert in Clinical Trials.
