The first step to enrolling in a clinical trial is to complete a phone questionnaire. This step helps us gather important information about your health and medical history. A research team member can also provide important information specific to you and answer your initial questions. It is an essential part of participating in a clinical trial.

If your initial phone meeting suggests you might be a good fit for the study, our research team will schedule an appointment at our research facility for an in-depth explanation of the study as well as simple medical tests, physical examination and health questionnaires to confirm your eligibility for the study.

The informed consent process is part of the first research site visit and provides you with information about the study goals, procedures, risks, benefits, and your rights as a participant. All the relevant information to make the decision to participate in the research study will be provided, in writing, in the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
