What do we mean by Informed Consent?

Informed Consent is a legal term applied when a person agrees to something based upon a clear understanding of what is involved.

In this particular case, Patient Informed Consent refers to a patient who has freely agreed to take part in the MAGRIT clinical study after having read and understood all relevant information about the study.

If you wish to take part and therefore contact a study doctor, you will be given written information about the trial (called an Informed Consent Form) and will be asked to read it carefully and sign it before starting the study.

Remember, you have the total right to decide if you want to take part in the study or not. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss it with your study doctor. You may also want to discuss your participation in the study with your family, your family doctor and anyone else who might help you fully understand how the study works and how it will affect you.
