Consent Approach
Informed consent must be provided by the participant; the protocol requires mental capacity and legal ability to consent. Separate informed consent documents exist for main ICF, optional research, pregnant partner, permission after withdrawal, and continuation/crossover addenda. ICFs and participant materials are provided in multiple languages (documents available in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Swedish, Lithuanian and others as per document list). Investigator must confirm participant ability to comply with study procedures.

Methods

  • Website-based recruitment: DALY2 trial website / DALYtrials.com (information pages and website screenshots documented in recruitment materials).
  • Info cards and QR codes: Study info cards and QR-code information cards (K2 Info Card / Study_Info Card_QR) used as recruitment material.
  • Site-based recruitment: investigators and participating hospital/clinic sites (trial sites listed by country) provide recruitment and referral.
