Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Oral Fasudil 90 mg/day
Treatment: Drugs - Oral Fasudil 180 mg/day
Treatment: Drugs - Oral Placebo

Experimental: Oral Fasudil 90 mg/day - Subjects will receive a daily dose of 90 mg Fasudil for 42 days (open-label period 1). After Period 1 is complete, if the subject is a responder to Fasudil 90 mg/day, they will be randomized to either Fasudil 90 mg/day or a placebo for 6 weeks (double-blind period 1), then crossover to the other arm for 6 weeks (double-blind period 2).

Experimental: Oral Fasudil 180 mg/day - If the subject is a not a responder in the open-label period 1 but tolerated Fasudil 90 mg/day, they will be escalated to Fasudil 180 mg/day (open-label period 2) for 42 days. If the subject is a responder to Fasudil 180 mg/day, they are randomized to either Fasudil 180 mg/day for 42 days or a placebo (double-blind period 1), then crossover to the other arm for 6 weeks (double-blind period 2).

Placebo comparator: Oral Placebo - Placebo comparator arm to investigational drug (Fasudil 90 mg/day or 180 mg/day).
