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 the study is defined as the last visit/contact of the last patient undergoing the study. For phase Ib, there will be a data cutoff defined as the earlier of 6 months after the last patient enrolled starts study treatment, or 30 days after the final patient discontinues treatment. As the phase III is event driven, the accrual of the predetermined number of events included in the study endpoints will determine the duration of the data collection phase of the study. |
