 The FATA trial was a spontaneous, noncompany promoted study almost entirely funded by each participating center and from the Fondazione Fanti-Melloni, a charitable institution linked to the University of Bologna. The study was partially supported with a research grant by Merck & Co., Inc. The company had no role in the study design, the analysis and interpretation of the data, or the drafting or revision of the final manuscript.
