Dutch term

Anders dan op hoofdlijnen

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general) Clinical trial
In a letter from an ethics committee informing of provisional rejection of a clinical trial application, it says this: Het protocol en ook het IB geven aan dat de data van 25 pp die de 120 mg dosis in de definitieve inhalatie-oplossing hebben gekregen nog niet geanalyseerd zijn. ***Anders dan op hoofdlijnen.***
Can someone help me out with "Anders dan op hoofdlijnen" please?

Marjolein Snippe Nov 4, 2021:
Apart from (very) generally Could it be that this is in fact a continuation of the previous sentence? ("... geven aan dat de data van xxx nog niet geanalyseerd zijn, anders dan op hoofdlijnen.") In that case, the meaning would be that these data have only been analysed very generally: have not been analysed, apart from a (very) general analysis.

Other than in broad terms

'Other than a cursory analysis' might be an alternative.

agree philgoddard : Yes, they've started a new sentence by mistake.

agree Barend van Zadelhoff : What about: The protocol and the IB indicate that, other than in broad terms, the data of 25 patients who received etc. have not yet been analysed. ?

agree Tina Vonhof (X) : Leave the 'broad terms' at the end (as in the source text).

agree Kitty Brussaard : I agree with Barend that forming a single sentence is the way to go, but "other than in broad terms" should occupy the final position in the sentence. This would have been different if the sentence didn't include "The protocol etc." at the beginning.
