Started Sep 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2024, 36 months after the start.
Of 243 non-industry observational studies under Acute Coronary Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 71. This study's planned 36 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 277 studies reached it within 35 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 68.
