What if I do not wish to participate in the clinical trial that has been proposed?
This is not a problem, as it is your own free choice whether or not to participate in a study. You may indicate at any time that you do not wish to participate. This may happen when the doctor first mentions the trial, during the practical explanation or during your reflection time at home. If you have already signed the informed consent brochure, you also still have the right to stop your participation. Your decision not to participate in the proposed clinical trial will not affect your relationship with the medical team or your further treatment.
You can communicate your decision to the doctor or study coordinator who informs you about the study or via the contact details of the responsible study coordinator given to you on the informed consent brochure. If the contact details are not available to you, you can always reach the study team via the general number +32 16 34 74 19.
The necessary appointments for follow-up or start-up of standard treatment will be made for you.
