What are the benefits if they qualify and join the clinical trial?
If your teen qualifies and participates in the clinical trial, they may benefit in several ways:
-
Access to Investigational Treatment: Participants may receive a new treatment that is not yet available to the public, which could help manage or improve their alopecia areata symptoms.
-
Specialist Care & Monitoring: Throughout the trial, your teen will be monitored by a dedicated team of medical professionals and dermatology specialists, often at no cost.
-
No-Cost Participation: Study-related visits, procedures, and medications are typically provided at no cost. In some cases, compensation for time and travel may also be offered.
