Role of sponsor {5c}

MecMeth/NOA-24 is an investigator-initiated trial. The financial sponsor (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) had no role in the study design and will not have any role in collection, management, analysis and interpretation of data, writing and submission of the study report for publication.

The legal sponsor Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-University of Bonn with his sponsor-delegated person Prof. Ulrich Herrlinger and the MecMeth/NOA-24 study group consisting of the authors of the current publication, however, have ultimate authority over all of these activities.
