Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Monaco. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Solange HESSE (+377 99995599, solange.hesse@chpg.mc), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?
