Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Six participants from each dose level (Dose Level 1 and Dose Level 2) were assessed for pharmacokinetic variables.
