Primary Outcomes (2)

  • AUECPL 3-240

    area-under-the-effects curve (AUEC) for product liking (PL) numeric rating scale (NRS) score-versus-time curve from 3 minutes to 240 minutes after the start of IP use. Product Liking is a numeric rating scale ranging from 0 to 10. A higher score indicates a higher liking of the product.

    5 minutes to 240 minutes

  • Emax PL

    maximum product liking (PL) numeric rating scale (NRS) score after the start of IP use. Product Liking is a numeric rating scale ranging from 0 to 10. A higher score indicates a higher liking of the product.

    240 minutes
