THANK YOU to activated sites for continuing to screen and enroll patients! We now have 43 sites activated and 139 patients enrolled as of 4/1/19! March was our best enrollment month to date and we hope April will be even stronger! Please try to find at least 1 new candidate each week so we can accelerate enrollment!!!
______________________________________________________________________________
1) When consenting patients for the trial, please document the consent process, as detailed in the protocol and MOP, and upload signed consent form and completed DOC process form to VISION database under Source Docs tab, item # 10. 2) PLEASE ENTER VISIT DATA WITHIN 1 WEEK OF THE VISIT AND UPLOAD PDFs of SOURCE DATA SO WE CAN MONITOR THE DATA! We need all visit CRFs to verify the data. CRFs may be scanned as a single PDF, if preferred, and uploaded under Source Docs tab, item # 9.
3) Please see study website for most up-to-date case report forms (CRFs), including version 2.0 for many of the baseline CRFs. Please ensure EDSS examiners use our study’s EDSS CRFs and NOT the neurostatus form. 4) Please capture MS Signs and Symptoms experienced by the patient at the baseline visit. Then, at follow-up visits, only create new entries if new or worsening signs and symptoms are reported. Do not change the baseline signs and symptoms already captured, and do not provide data related to resolution of symptoms. Please reach out to Sandi (scassar1@jhmi.edu) or Madiha (mqutab1@jhmi.edu) if you have questions.
