What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Once Daily Dosing Works as Well a Multiple Dosing a Day.

    subject tolerated once a day dose Only 1 subject enrolled which was the control arm standard dose twice a day. No subjects enrolled to take dose once a day Therefore, primary outcome cannot be reported

    Measured: overall study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Improved Medication Compliance.

    Not applicable : unable to measure secondary outcome because no one was enrolled in once a day dose arm. Therefore, no comparisons can be made to see if once a day dosing would have higher compliance than taking medication BID or TID

    Measured: overall study
