Participant Flow

32 subjects were screened for the study who gave informed consent and had at least one safety assessment, which were the criteria for inclusion in the Safety Population. 31 subjects were enrolled (one subject completed alternate status but was not needed for study participation due to closed enrollment). One of the enrolled subjects was discontinued due to positive alcohol breath and urine tests on Day -1. A total of 30 subjects were randomized to participate in the study.
