Table 1. Baseline characteristics of the four populations in different treatment arms.

	S1	S2	H1	H2
Age (Mean ± SD; IQR)	33.7±11.6; 17.5	31.5±11.5; 18.8	28.2±10.5; 17.3	34.4±12.9; 22.0
Mf Density (Mean ± SD)	944.4±541.5	748.3±285.0	783.9±366.0	739.7±437.0
Mf Density (GM) ^*	457	348	386	459
Og4C3 Antigen Units (Mean) ^#	12951.1	15834.2	13011.3	6514.3

* p = 0.822,

^# p = 0.057

The study population enrolled into each arm were compared in terms of age distribution, baseline Mf count and antigenemia. All the four groups were similar (p>0.05) in the baseline parameters.
