- Vulnerable Population
- The trial includes vulnerable participants (isVulnerablePopulationSelected = true): adolescents aged 15-17 are eligible. Study documentation includes subject information and informed consent forms for minors (15-17 years), separate parent/legal guardian ICFs, and investigator materials directed at pediatricians/GPs.
