RE: Results - Deaths on Placebo vs SNG11 Jan 2022 12:19
Synairgen have every right to see the dataset once it is unblinded and locked. Once the data is locked whether SNG see it or anyone else it makes zero difference. No changes can be made to it at that point.SNG put together the statistical analysis plan for the protocol and that is what will be applied to the dataset.
For reference from the Committee on Strategies for Responsible Sharing of Clinical Trial Data; Board on Health Sciences Policy; Institute of Medicine.
" After study completion, investigators and/or sponsors clean the data, derive additional variables, adjudicate endpoints, lock the data set to create the full analyzable data set, carry out prespecified and additional analyses using software programs (the analytic code), and prepare manuscripts for publication. Investigators also can use parts of the analyzable data set to prepare analyses for presentations, data exploration, and hypothesis generation. A biostatistics best practice is to freeze a copy of whatever data were used in an analysis so the results can be repeated later if necessary. It is also desirable to store the analytic code that generated the results (i.e., the computer program), especially for any derived data."
