The DSMB advised that the Trial Steering Committee (TSC) should be unblinded to the outcome data (all treatment groups) in order to make a decision about stopping or continuing one or both of the remaining arms of the trial. We decided to follow the advice of the DSMB. After analyses of the DSMB report the TSC decided to stop inclusion of patients into the trial. We will use the upcoming months to complete our database, after which we will report our final results.

Safety report
April 16, 2019 - Following on receipt of the 4th Safety Report from the MR CLEAN MED trial, the DSMB recommended unanimously that the Steering Committee should consider stopping the moderate-dose heparin arm of the trial, but should continue the other arms of the trial. The grounds for stopping related to safety rather than efficacy.
The executive committee of the trial has acted upon receiving this advice, and directly stopped inclusion in this part of the trial. No patients have been included in the moderate-dose heparin arm after receipt of the DSMB recommendation.
After consulting the Medical Ethics committee, and with approval of the Steering committee, the inclusion of patients in the ASA and low dose heparin arms are continued.
Meanwhile, patients, family and representatives have been contacted personally and regulatory bodies have been notified.
