What is the purpose of this trial?
This study aims to optimize a treatment package for the relapse prevention treatment of AN. In the current Optimization Phase, we will identify which components of treatment contribute to positive outcomes after structured treatment. We will carefully evaluate maintenance of remission, measured by rate of weight loss and end-of-trial status.
