Participant Flow

Patients were entered in the trial and randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive treatment.

All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Subjects attended specialist site which would then ensure that they (the subjects) met all strictly implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not randomised to trial treatment if any one of the specific entry criteria was violated.
