Yup, KMBJN, it is confusing without seeing what actually is in their protocol.

You are correct, from 61 randomized to 46 is due to 55 Gy minimum cumulative radiation, which is OK. What is 46 to 39? Angry Canadians? No idea, and I don't like it. If it was in the protocol agreed with FDA there should not be any problem making it public (blame FDA for letting you to do it). If it was not, they should call it additional fudging in order to look good.

Anyway, these population reduction are usually called exclusions, dropouts are the same as censors ie. those little balls in Kaplan Meier curve. So, dropout rate = censoring rate.
