Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

CSL will consider on a case-by-case basis requests to share Individual Patient Data (IPD) with external bona-fide, qualified scientific and medical researchers. For information on the process and requirements for submitting a voluntary data sharing request for IPD, please contact CSL at clinicaltrials@cslbehring.com.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Requests for IPD will generally be considered once review by major regulatory authorities (ie FDA, EMA) is complete and the primary publication is available.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Proposed research should seek to answer a previously unanswered important medical or scientific question.

Applicable country specific privacy and other laws and regulations will be considered and may prevent sharing of IPD.

If the request is approved and the researcher has executed an appropriate data sharing agreement, IPD that has been appropriately anonymized will be available.
