Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   We aim to do a randomised controlled trial to assess the use of  fluorescence in malignant glioma after administration of Sodium Fluorescein improving resection as defined by postoperative MRI, and to analyse the effect of resection on progression free survival and neurological morbidity
