Due to a business transfer involving the collaborative institution on October 1, 2024, the recruitment of participants and the provision of clinical resources were discontinued.
Although we obtained ethics approval in July 2021, the recruitment of participants was postponed because of COVID 19. In May 2023, COVID 19 was changed from category 2 to category 5 infectious diseases, and we started recruitment of participants.
