What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Response of Very Convenient or Somewhat Convenient

    Participant reported outcome questionnaire was the assessment of participant's convenience with drug treatment based on following categories: very convenient or somewhat convenient and not convenient or not at all convenient. Value of 1 was reported if participant answered 'very convenient' or 'somewhat convenient' and 0 if participant answered 'not convenient' or 'not at all convenient'.

    Measured: Day 11

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percent Compliance With Prescribed Treatment Regimen

    Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed).

    Measured: Day 11

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Were 100 Percent Compliant With Prescribed Treatment Regimen

    Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed). Value of 1 was reported if percent compliance equals to 100, and 0 if percent compliance was non-missing and less than 100.

    Measured: Day 11
