Participant Flow

25 participants were consented. 21 were randomized and completed the study, 1 was a screen failure, 1 withdrew after the initial biopsy and rash from bandage adhesive, 1 was withdrawn due to schedule noncompliance, and one was withdrawn after a syncopal episode during the initial biopsy.
