Description: Datasets generated and analysed during the current study will be available upon request from Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit (BCTU: bctudatashare@contacts.bham.ac.uk). Data will typically be available within 6 months after the primary publication unless it is not possible to share the data. Only scientifically sound proposals from appropriately qualified Research Groups will be considered for data sharing. The request will be reviewed by the BCTU Data Sharing Committee in discussion with the CI and, where appropriate (or in absence of the CI) any of the following: the Trial Sponsor, the relevant Trial Management Group, and the independent Trial Steering Committee. A formal Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) may be required between respective organisations once the release of the data is approved and before data can be released. Data will be fully anonymised unless the DSA covers the transfer of patient identifiable information. Data transfer will use a secure and encrypted method.
