Data analysis plan

Sponsor personnel or a designated representative will review the data entered by investigational staff for completeness and accuracy. When the data collection process is complete for a patient or at specified time points and the data have been validated, the data are de-identified and moved from the database maintainer to the analysis database of the sponsor. Concomitant medications entered into the database will be coded using the World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Reference List, which employs the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system. Medical history/current medical conditions and adverse events will be coded using the Medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA) terminology.At the completion of entering data for a patient, the investigator must “electronically certify” or validate that the data for this patient are complete and accurate. At this point, the system will require the investigator to re-enter his password.
