Consent Approach
Informed consent materials include a Main ICF plus country- and language-specific versions and optional/ancillary ICFs (e.g., optional future research, Greenphire notices). Because participants have AD/dementia, the study provides Study-Partner/Caregiver ICFs, Patient-Representative ICFs (country-dependent), and Assent forms. Pregnant-participant and pregnant-partner ICFs are also provided. Documents are available in multiple languages (examples in the dossier: English, Bulgarian, French, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, German, Hungarian, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Croatian and others). Consent is supported by caregiver/study-partner processes where capacity may be compromised.

Methods

  • Digital marketing and online recruitment (Trialbee digital marketing content, Trialbee landing pages, Trialbee self-assessment and secondary assessment communication).
  • Print and on-site materials: posters, postcards, patient letters, flip charts, patient-caregiver brochures.
  • Vendor/platform-supported recruitment: Elligo (digital/site recruitment), Study Connect and other vendor materials referenced in country recruitment packs.
  • Site-based recruitment: physician letters and investigator-site outreach (country-specific K1/K2 materials and physician letters).
  • Country-specific recruitment packages: dedicated recruitment arrangements and translated materials for multiple countries (examples: BE, FR, DE, PL, RO, SK, HR, HU, IT, PT, ES, GR, etc.).
