Participant Flow

Seven (7) screened subjects were eligible and enrolled into the study. These participants then underwent further screening for responsiveness to study medication.

Enrolled subjects found to be responsive to study medication were then randomized to actual study device closure (test) or to sham closure (control). The decision to terminate the trial was made after 2 subjects had been randomized to closure.
