🎇 End of Recruitment! 🎇

As of 30 June 2025, recruitment has now ceased in all countries except Germany. The entire TRACK team at TGI would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for all the hard work and dedication you’ve shown over the past four years to bring the study to this point. We truly couldn’t have done it without you—thank you again.

Just a reminder: Although enrolment has closed, participants currently in the run-in phase should continue through to randomisation as planned

📢 Important Reminders 📢

 * Please be aware that as of the 30th June 2025 NO stock from the previous batch, with an expiry of September 2025, should be re dispensed to participants. It should be collected and destroyed on site. If the participant requires extra stock, then an unscheduled dispense should be performed and the participant dispensed an additional bottle.

 * At the TRACK DSMB meeting on 04th June 2025, the DSMB recommended “To continue the trial unchanged”. In addition, the DSMB recommended “To continue the trial unchanged” at the DSMB meeting on 04th June 2025. We encourage the study team and site PIs to maximize recruitment in active countries during June 2025 and in Germany during June through September 2025.  We encourage the investigators to minimize withdrawal of consent and loss to follow-up and to re-double efforts to minimize discontinuation of study drug for non-clinical reasons.”

 * A reminder that outcomes should NOT be reported as ‘Undetermined Cause of Death’ whenever possible. Please check TRACK Protocol Appendix 1: TRACK Trial Endpoint Definitions and make sure they cannot be classified as CV/non-CV death. If two lethal conditions contribute to death equally and the competing causes of death are cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular, cardiovascular death should be chosen. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out to the TRACK team.

 * On the Study Medication Page whenever possible the reason for discontinuation should not be reported as “other”.  Rather please consider all the listed options in the database for short-term and long-term stoppages (as shown below) before selecting “other”.
