TRIAL TREATMENT: Can treatment continue for longer than the specified duration if the patient is not discharged in this time?

Treatments should ideally be stopped after the duration specified in the protocol. Continuation beyond this would be outside the trial, but the managing doctor is free to do what they think is best for the patient (and if they decided to continue a trial treatment it would not constitute a protocol deviation).
