A further assessment, by the DMC, of unblinded data from the first 100 randomised patients, for safety and futility, will be performed imminently and will be announced in the coming weeks. The trial sponsor (University of Dundee/NHS Tayside) are cleaning the trial data and finalising the statistical basis for performing the analysis, and the output will be provided to the DMC for review shortly. The DMC assessment of futility will consider whether there is sufficient evidence of clinical improvement in the treatment arm compared with placebo to justify continuation of the trial.
We expect to be able to announce the DMC conclusions later this month in line with previous guidance as to timing thereof.
So whats the hold up on release of results.....it seems pretty clear that they will be holding them.
