Composition of the coordinating centre and trial steering committee {5d}
RECRUITMENT
Two principal investigators (a radiation oncologist at Jules Bordet Institute and a SLP at the University of Antwerp) will be designated in each participating centre. The PI will be responsible for identification, recruitment, data collection and completion of informed consent forms, along with follow-up of study patients and adherence to study protocol and investigators brochure. A collaborative agreement between both centres will be signed with regard to the attributed roles and responsibilities.The trial has three management committees with independent members: the Clinical Projects Committee (CPC), the Review Board Meeting of the Radiation-Oncology Department (RB) and the Thesis Monitoring Committee (TMC). The CPC reviewed and approved the trial from a scientific and a statistical standpoint. The RB will meet regularly (at least every 3 months) to ensure that the trial is progressing according to plan. More regular and individual meetings between the principal investigators and different parts of the research team will be planned as appropriate. The TMC will meet annually to ensure that the PhD is making good progress on schedule.
