Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
The trial is monitored on an ongoing basis by an IDMC for the number of PFS events required for the primary endpoint and for safety signals. An unblinding of treatment assignment might be performed when the study is still ongoing if the IDMC recommends it. However, the study is not anticipated to close until all patients are off treatment and sufficient OS follow up has occurred. Upon study end, eligible patients have the option of entering an extension protocol to continue rucaparib treatment. |
