What is the overall purpose of the study?
How long will the study last?
What other options do I have?
What kinds of therapies, procedures and tests will I have during the trial, and would I have them if I did not participate in the trial?
Will I be able to take my regular medications while in the trial?
Where will I receive my medical care?
How might being in this study affect my daily life?
May I leave the trial at any time?
Will I be told about the results at the end of the trial?
Who is funding the trial?
Will I have to pay anything if I take part (e.g. travel expenses, costs of tests and other treatments)
