Participants by arm

ArmCount
VIT-45
VIT-45 given on Day 0 and Placebo on Day 7. For assessment purposes, this arm included all subjects who received VIT-45 at Day 0 and Day 7. Also included in this assessment was 12 pharmacokinetic (PK) patients. The PK portion of the study was open-label, not part of the cross-over design, where subjects received 1 unblinded dose of VIT-45 at Day 0. Select sites participated and subjects were enrolled if they agreed to the extra blood draws.

Placebo
Placebo given on Day 0 and VIT-45 on Day 7. For assessment purposes, this arm included all subjects who received Placebo at Day 0 and Day 7.
