- FAQ – What to do with patients who are included but found not to fulfil eligibility criteria?
All patients are randomized based on the data available at time of randomization. If a patient is included, the patient will remain in the trial. We must collect data and also do out best to get a consent according to local rules. As the trial will be analyzed according to intention-to-treat, this is a crucial part of doing trial the right way. Please see the web page for further guidance:
