Participant Flow

A total of 2 centers in the US were initiated and enrolled patients. 159 patients enrolled, of which 106 randomized

Patients were screened up to 21 days, and admitted to the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) for a maximum of 2 days until eligibility was determined. Once eligibility was determined, patients currently on medication entered a 7 days washout period, patients not currently on medication had a 3 day washout, prior to randomization to study medication.
