During the 52-weeks implementation period, the active drug group will receive Tranilast 100mg x 3 times/day orally. For patients younger than 15 years of age at the time of treatment, it will be adjusted to 5 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses. The placebo group will receive the placebo orally 3 times/day.
