Questions to ask the study team

You can ask for plain answers before deciding anything.

  • What is being tested, and might I receive a comparison treatment or placebo?
  • What visits, travel, tests, and time would participation involve?
  • Which costs are covered, and which costs might be mine?
  • What is known and unknown about safety so far?
  • What happens if I want to leave or when the study ends?

Ask your care team Keep treatment, trial, and safety choices with the team that knows your health and goals.

Keep your current care connected

A study question and your current treatment plan belong in the same conversation.

Bring your medicine list and current plan to the study team. Tell your dermatologist what the study asks you to start, stop, or change before you enroll.

Choosing not to join, leaving later, or waiting for another option are legitimate choices.
