The informed consent process provides you with the information required to ensure you make an informed decision about participation in the clinical research study. This process will:

  • Help you to understand the study
  • Give you an opportunity to ask questions and to consider whether to participate
  • Obtain your voluntary agreement to participate
  • Continue to provide information as the clinical research study progresses

Before participating, we will take you through a written Informed Consent Form (ICF) that outlines important information to consider before joining the study. The study staff will go through this document with you and answer any questions you may have. This document provides details of the study, such as study expectations, duration, and what you will need to do. All known possible risks and potential benefits are also explained in the ICF. After you have read and discussed all the information about the study, you can decide whether or not to digitally sign the consent form. This consent form is not a contract, and you are always free to leave the study at any time and for any reason, with no penalty to you. Additionally, during your participation, the study staff will let you know in a timely manner of any information that may change your mind about participating.
