Written informed consent was obtained from each participant in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title per Department of Health and Human Services (DHSS) regulations (45 CFR 46, subpart A & D). Subjects were asked to sign state-specific forms, such as Subject’s Bill of Rights, or equivalent, (if applicable) and HIPAA authorization form, if not included in the site’s consent template. Subjects were provided the opportunity to review these documents prior to coming to the clinical site. The investigator or designee explained the purpose and duration of the study, the study procedures and subject requirements, and the potential risks and benefits. The consenting process was documented for each participant and a copy of the consent was provided to the participant. All procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional review board and ethics committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1964, as revised in 2013.
