Important Updates & Reminders

 

1. DSMB update

The latest TRACK DSMB meeting was held Wednesday, 7th June. After review of the trial data the DSMB recommended that the trial continues unchanged. We look forward to sharing all the results from the DSMB at the round of upcoming Investigator Meetings to be conducted in all regions through July.  Please keep an eye out for an invitation as we would encourage all site staff to attend wherever possible.

2. Data Entry
Data quality assurance is a key aspect to the integrity and success of the TRACK trial. To ensure we are capturing accurate details within the database, we wish to provide some friendly reminders on correct procedures for data entry.

STUDY MEDICATION LOG - Stopped IMP
If a participant has stopped IMP, please update the study medication log and ensure to check whether the reason for stopping is listed under �reasons for stopping� before selecting �other�.
