Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
This is a 3-treatment, 3-period, 6-sequence crossover study. Each subject received all 3 products in a randomly assigned order. The subject used 1 product at a time for a duration of 1 week before switching to the next assigned product (e.g., with treatments A, B, and C, the sequences were ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, and CBA).
