Target enrollment

19 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Derived from multiple blood sampling (measured at 2 mins, 4 mins, 7 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours post-product use) on Days 1, 2, 3 and 4

Participant Flow

40 subjects were screened for eligibility. 21 subjects were screen failures (10 reserve subjects were not enrolled, 9 subjects did not meet eligibility criteria, and 2 subjects withdrew.)

On Day 1, 19 subjects were enrolled and exposed to "P3P 3" before randomization. One enrolled subject withdrew after P3P 3 use before randomization. 18 subjects were randomized.
