Documentation of the discussion and the date of informed consent must be recorded in the subject’s medical record.Up to this date there are no additional studies planned using the participants’ data and/or biological specimens. Any additional studies using the participants’ data will require a new clinical protocol and will be submitted to the IEC/IRB for approval.
