8.0
This planned amendment (Substantial Amendment 8.0 24.11.2024) pertained to the sickness leave of the study CI. The amendment did not progress past the JRO's approval as our CI had already returned from leave by the time of it's approval. No REC or HRA validation was pursued. This was not submitted via IRAS.
No impact to the running of the study by PQIP sites was identified and so publication of administrative process was nixed. We apologise for any confusion caused by the numbering of the subsequent SA.
