Very quickly it got more complicated than that. Patients could be randomised to TTM2, or TAME, or to participate in both studies. The big question was – could the Spinnaker Platform be adapted to this novel design?

We are very proud of our adaptability so we had a close look at what we could do ... follow the story on our blog »
