Short update on progress so far: The opening of PROPHER has been delayed due to COVID19. With elective surgery being severely restricted across the world it was not appropriate for us to look to open.  We are currently planning to open the pilot phase in early Summer. The pilot phase will run for six months, and will include the UK, other English speaking countries, and selected European countries. Following the pilot phase the study will be opened up to all interested countries.
