Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
24 subjects were equally randomised to one of two groups / sequences, and in general terms, ABCD or BADC. Hence, 12 subjects were in group ABCD and 12 in BADC. All 24 subjects received all treatments, A, B, C, D. The numbers presented in the milestone are by overall treatment, A, B, C or D.

Certain Agreements:  
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
The agreement is:
unchecked The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is less than or equal to 60 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
unchecked The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is more than 60 days but less than or equal to 180 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.


Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
