Arms	Assigned Interventions
A: Active Comparator This arm will receive 2 subcutaneous injections with 20 µg Diamyd on Days 1 and 30, i.e., 1 prime and 1 booster dose, followed by 2 additional single doses with Diamyd 20 µg on Days 90 and 270.	Drug: rhGAD65 Diamyd (rhGAD65) 20 µg injected subcutaneously at days 1, 30, 90 and 270.
B: Active Comparator This arm will receive 2 subcutaneous injections with 20 µg Diamyd on Days 1 and 30, i.e., 1 prime and 1 booster dose, followed by 2 additional single doses with placebo on Days 90 and 270.	Drug: rhGAD65 Diamyd (rhGAD65) 20 µg injected subcutaneously at days 1 and 30, followed by placebo injections at days 90 and 270.
C: Placebo Comparator This arm will receive 4 injections of placebo, 1 each on Days 1, 30, 90, and 270.	Drug: Placebo Placebo injected subcutaneously at days 1, 30, 90 and 270
