How to refer your patient for an ALS clinical trial?
A simple guide through patient referral.
1. The four info needed for a patient referral
- Patient willing to travel to the study site
- Confirmed ALS diagnosis
- Date of symptom onset
- Most recent FVC/SVC %
2. Referral
You (the physician, nurse...) refer the ALS patient to an ALS Team running a clinical trial. The Team reviews the patients eligibillity and informs you (the physician, nurse...) of the next step.
3. Screening
Your patient goes to a screening visit for an ALS trial.
Screening succeeds: patients that are eligible for the clinical trial will continue their clinical care/clinical follow-up with you and your team, and will be followed by our team for the trial they participate in.
- Screening fails: your patient is not eligible for this trial. He/she can be re-screened (if allowed by the protocol) and he/she can be considered for another study.
