Figures & data

Figure 1. Patient disposition. aReasons for unavailability are: tightening of regulations for facility visits (n = 2), patient was found to be ineligible (n = 1), patient was referred to another facility (n = 1). bFour patients of ‘Indeterminate due to a lack of data before or after administration’ also fall under ‘Patients with less than 2 weeks of administration’.
