This also means that a safety analysis of these infants will take place in order to also recruit infants with a very low birth weight , which in turn is expected to significantly increase the recruitment rate . Furthermore it means that IBT has an opportunity to validate the study's second primary endpoint , " feeding tolerance " , and redefine this if necessary . • In response to the COVID - 19 pandemic and the coronavirus , IBT is closely monitoring developments and is actively taking measures to minimize or limit affects thereof on the company's operations . IBT adheres to directives issued by Folkhälsomyndigheten , the WHO and ECDC ( European center for prevention and control of disease ) . The pandemic affects the recruitment level in IBT's pivotal study , " The Connection study " .
