spk_9: the with to and seventeen we're pretty close we've been i think accruing on average of about fifteen months between and eleven event
spk_3: and we expect to accrue
spk_10: into a third quarter so so we feel pretty good about our ability to to reach you know that that number of a box way to and forty two and fifty patients but crimean parliament

spk_0: so they are you there
spk_13: i am next question comes from shills may do was tell when your line is now open gov and her to get our questions patch just a few for most first on the situation eastern europe she could we talk about you are assuming that no more events be going to be a crew from ukraine
spk_2: do the the will unfortunate war their what is the most recent data of those events in fact stop recording from ukraine or are you actually stuffing for patients go to the clinic
spk_3: we you know adding adding in our projections we we're not counting on on any additional of and
spk_14: from your frame i think ill
spk_3: as you said
spk_9: out of a unfortunate situation that the very serious situation and the
spk_2: we're i think so
spk_3: you know we see bravery and from the ukrainian people across the board we do have some patients actually showing up for for thirty visits and i i i don't think they have accrued any additional of him from that along a path of and again we don't we don't rely on any event from from ukraine there will be pure outside
spk_13: and we are they were comfortable with a to and forty to two hundred fifty fifty five number without any of em coming from ukraine for
spk_15: that's where helpful and what about the neighboring countries such as poland any disruptions do too
spk_2: do refugee crisis or or or any other she's in those countries are we haven't seen any any impact and we had hoped that the that nato wouldn't go off because i may have a bigger problem with that
spk_13: at hand but but again i think so far we've seen the disruption of via you have limited to to ukraine perfect the question is on
spk_15: guess the process of the administrative stuff i think you said you prefer marching stop the starting to to
spk_13: the continue to the crew
spk_16: events true to free with the didn't you for so i guess technically what does the stop mean and how do you continue to recruit events
spk_3: and post for stopping the study i that the am at the study is stop we would basically off the side to have the patience come in for a final thirty visits and of as a do a lot of isn't patients can have either confirmatory of and would say index of them as
spk_2: the way we've we've succeeded as that
spk_3: the out shortly before the database lot me what we would still allow for for those visits to happen
spk_2: and for those and to be confirmed to maximize really them on a follow up that they're getting from the study and so we am i think it it
spk_3: pretty common practice and even under normal wind down that sort of up to a month or two before they have a lot you you do
spk_13: him basically you have a crew of adams and collect data perfect two courses amateur hazard ratio in you're prepared remarks image and eighty percent power to the tech houses russia of point seven were curious to get your updated thoughts there are any on what you think the true hazard ratio is based on the academic literature and your experiences
spk_2: but seven brush me worry if he gets likely to the fall outers their chance it could be removed
spk_3: having a solid academic studies you know those were on a single send the trials that are not that i double blind or randomized in all cases they showed other measures that were significantly ball and as he said we would not rely on that so we're quite comfortable with
spk_17: with point seven
spk_18: an answer
spk_3: i think if i think it could it could be lower than that
spk_2: but but from a fiscal perspective the other having an important special attack on the clinical significance perspective i think that is so i settled and so we
spk_13: with the very confident that that that the barbican wage
spk_15: perfect the must know the answer this question from most is on the if voting process
spk_13: once you have the data should they be positive
spk_17: how long would it take you to pretty the funding in are there are additional conversations you'd have to have with the of to a in order to be able to file

spk_2: and of aziza the clearer and more positive the data i think the the lead to delay the submission and oppose the mission of at it as a year that appreciate the mission meeting that that as that more mechanic off but
