Additional consent provisions for the collection and use of participant data and biological specimens
On the consent form, participants will be asked if they agree to the use of their data should they choose to withdraw from the trial. Participants will also be asked for permission for the research team to share relevant data with people from the universities taking part in the research or from regulatory authorities, where relevant. Therefore, all those additional tests will be performed only after obtaining informed consent, based on each participant’s voluntary participation and agreement to those procedures.
