Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
The end of trial is defined as the time point when the last patient has completed his/her treatment, and all data queries have been solved and the study data base has been locked.
The sponsor reserves the right to discontinue the trial at any time prior to anticipated completion due to failure to meet expected enrolment goals or emergence of any efficacy/safety information that could significantly affect continuation of the trial.
