Bei den 192 Events hat das DSMB auch 2 Mon. gebraucht. Die erste Berechnung werden sie bestimmt nicht verlegt haben. Daher bleiben nur 192 zu berechnen.
David Dodd Sure, Jason. This is David. Thank you, good question. So as of couple of days ago we have 371 events of deaths minimum of 384 to lock the database. Now as we have mentioned in recent calls and on this call also the rate of deaths has slowdown considerably we believe there is likelihood that we will reach the minimum number possibly this month. And the process that we will go through is once we achieve a number of around 375 we will inform all sights that the next patient visit - they schedule the last patient visit for each patient log. And then as we reset minimum, we will then lock the database.
Now since there are 125 sites and over 500 patients in this trial and about a 130 remaining, we are 129 now remaining and all when we get a report that there are 371 deaths as you might imagine there probably at that point more than that I don’t know what the number is, maybe we're at 375 already, because the process is if someone in the family needs to report the death to the clinical office which then reports it to the CRO et cetera, et cetera. And it's usually not the first thing someone wants to do when a loved one has passed away. And so there is a timing factor in there, but the process we will go through will be the following. As soon as we reach a point that we then inform and all sites notify the patients to be scheduled for their last visit and all. We will then go lock the database down, every site needs to be visited before we have the CRO all the case report forms check, all the quality assurance has to be done leading to then the quality sign out from the appropriateness of the database to then being addressed statistically.In total, it is estimated that it takes about eight weeks from the point in which we lock the database at the patient level to when we have top-line results....................................
And then at that point we will issue a press release and possibly hold a conference call.
