If you are living with a medical condition, joining a clinical trial can help researchers understand how this investigational treatment affects the body and increase their knowledge about the disease and how to treat it. Participation can also play a vital role in helping others who have similar conditions, both now and in the future.
Once you have enrolled, you may receive either the study drug or a placebo. Neither you nor the study doctor will know which group you belong to.
You do not have to pay for the investigational study drug or study procedures that are not part of your regular medical care. However, you may be responsible for paying for routine medical care that may be performed during the trial, some of which may be covered by your insurance.
The study doctor will review any medications participants are currently taking and determine which medications can be continued, adjusted, or need to be discontinued before the study.
Novartis is sponsoring this study.
This trial is a Phase 2a clinical trial.
The first step to trial participation is to take the online screener. You will be notified in real time if your medical conditions match study requirements. If you qualify online, a study representative will follow up with additional information about your eligibility.
After you complete the online pre-screener, you will have the opportunity to ask a study representative questions about the study. Medical staff who are conducting the study locally will meet with all participants before enrollment. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, and you will receive a written document outlining study requirements, risks, and treatment.
Study sites are medical facilities where study-related activities will occur. Sites are staffed by doctors, nurses, research scientists, and administrative support teams.
Participants can stop study participation if they wish. Your consent to participate in the study can be revoked at any time. This will not have consequences for your future care by the physicians.
Clinical trials can help researchers, doctors, and healthcare providers find new ways to detect, prevent or treat diseases and medical conditions. The goal of a clinical trial is to learn about the effects of an investigational medication or procedure under strictly controlled and regulated conditions.
