Patients who screen and then enroll in the study will receive:

- Lab work and Safety Follow-ups
- Study drug (active, comparator, or placebo)
- $86.00 per completed study visit
Study Duration for Patients
The total study duration is approximately 76-weeks which consists of approximately 15 visits during the course of the study.
The study consists of three periods:
- Screening Period (2 to 4 weeks before the treatment starts) to see if you are eligible to participate in the study.
- Study Treatment Period (76 weeks). This Study Treatment period is double-blinded. Double-blind means you and your study team will not know which of the two treatment therapies you will receive, although your study doctor can find out if needed for your safety.
- Safety Follow-Up Visits (2 SFU visits) (Up to 52 weeks after the last dose of study drug) These visits will ensure you have no long-term safety concerns after the end of treatment. Your study doctor can extend this if necessary for safety concerns.
The study may also have some unplanned visits, most commonly for repeat lab work.
Obinutuzumab (Gazyva)
Obinutuzumab (Gazyva) is a monoclonal antibody therapy.
Enrolled subjects will either receive the investigational therapy (50%) or placebo (50%). All subjects will receive mycophenolate mofetil (Myfortic) as a standard of care treatment for the duration of the study.
