Consent Approach
Informed consent must be voluntarily signed and dated by the subject or their legally authorized representative prior to any screening or study-specific procedures ("Subjects or their legally authorized representative must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an IEC/IRB, prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures."). Study documents include subject information and ICFs in multiple country/language versions (Italian, Spanish, French versions are present in the published document list); participants are adults (≥18) so no assent from minors is described.

Methods

  • Third-party recruitment support contracted to Massive Bio Inc. (duty labelled as 'recruitment' in sponsor third-party listing).
  • Site-based recruitment via participating hospital/clinic oncology departments at listed investigational sites in Italy, Spain and France (standard site recruitment procedures implied by site participation).
  • Recruitment arrangements and memos exist (e.g., country-specific recruitment documents listed) but details of channels (advertising, registries, social media) are not provided in the available data.
