Hi!
If I run a GLP animal study, and realize after the study starts that I can get more data points per animal than my protocol stated, then is that allowed?
For example, my protocol states that I am going to apply a treatment to 3 different places on an organ. I realize after initiating the study that the organ is large enough to accommodate treatment to 4 places. Within the confines of GLP, am I allowed to collect the 4th data point?
Additionally, do I have to report the data obtained from the 4th point if I do collect it?
