Participant Flow

This was a five-arm cross-over trial, with subjects randomized to the order they received the different treatments and with analysis performed on valid pharmacokinetic data. Therefore, Number of Participants Analyzed in each arm represents the same subjects, and the total is not consistent with numbers provided in the participant flow module.
