2017-12-05 GREAT NEWS! Our study is now fully funded by Hjärt-Lungfonden (with 2 milion swkr) and VR (with close to 17 milion swkr). We also have fundings from Laerdahl and ALF.

2017-06-07 EPN has approved the amendment for the main study. Keep including patiens as allways until we tell you otherwise. We will visit every site and introduce the new randomization web page (Sealed envelope) and the new EDC system (Open Clinica).

2017-04-05 Gävle has included their first patient! Now we have 60 patients! Well done everyone! If we continue in this rate, we will reach our goal with 80 patients!

2017-02-02 At the steering committee meeting on the 1 of february 2017, it was decided that from this date, every participating hospital will get 3000 swedish crowns for every included patient in the DISCO-pilot study. Hopefully this will give some compensation to those who work with the study and will contribute to the inclusion-rate.                                                                                                                          Today we have 54 patients in the pilot study. 15 of april we will do a safety and disability analysis before the main study starts. The inclution of patiens will continue without interuption. And the patients included in the pilot study will also be included in the main study.
