What to Expect

---

It starts with a simple conversation. When you express interest in a study, one of our local coordinators will reach out for a brief phone call. We will discuss your health history and the study goals to see if it might be a good fit for you.

If you qualify for the next step, we’ll invite you to our office.

• Informed Consent: Our doctors will sit down with you to explain the study in detail, including the risks and benefits. You are encouraged to ask as many questions as you like.

• Health Exam: We will perform a physical exam and any necessary lab work (at no cost) to confirm that the study is safe for you to join.

Once enrolled, you will begin your study visits.

• Expert Monitoring: During these visits, our medical team will monitor your health more closely than in standard medical care.

• Study Medication/Treatment: You will receive the investigational treatment or a placebo as outlined in the study plan.

• No-Cost Care: All exams, lab tests, and study medications are provided at no cost to you or your insurance.

When the study ends, we will conduct a final health check. We will coordinate with your primary care doctor at the Family Care Practice to ensure a smooth transition back to your regular health routine.
