PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Predose (0 hour) and 5 hours postdose on Days 2, 3, and 8

Population: Analysis of the primary outcome was done on the Balanced Data Set, defined as all participants with no missing pharmacokinetic data for Days 3, 8, and 15 (n=49). From Days 1 to 8, these 49 participants received 200 mg TID. From Days 9 to 15, these 49 participants were randomized to either 200 mg TID (n=19), 400 mg BID (n=14), or 400 mg TID (n=16).

Individual mean concentrations were calculated as the average of observed concentrations at 0 hour (before the morning dose) and 5 hours after the morning dose.
