IPD for this study will be made available via the Clinical Study Data Request site.

IPD will be made available within 6 months of publishing the results of the primary endpoints, key secondary endpoints and safety data of the study.

Access is provided after a research proposal is submitted and has received approval from the Independent Review Panel and after a Data Sharing Agreement is in place. Access is provided for an initial period of 12 months but an extension can be granted, when justified, for up to another 12 months.
