I want to say thank you for the past 2 weeks, thanks to your professional and rapid response. In the past 2 weeks, we were able to screen 4 subjects and enroll 1 subject. I reviewed the 4 worksheets and found the common problems, such as the refractory and relapse disease in the worksheet. I found that the info regarding the refractory or relapse were wrongly entered from the site. So I wanted to ask your opinion about that. It seems that in the worksheet, our current definition of refractory and relapse disease is not very clear. I think Michael had a good suggestion in the email – I think we need to revise our worksheet to avoid future mistakes by the site. Maybe we can change the relapse or refractory disease to last prior line. This is option one. Option two is that we delete this item from our worksheet completely, because we can tell whether it is refractory or relapse from the subsequent section provided in the worksheet. So it’s actually not necessary to require the site to fill out this information. What’s your opinion about this?
