Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

To what extent does the process of increasing medication dosage pose risk to patients?

"Given that this is a Phase 1 trial, the safety rating for Dose Escalation would be relatively low at 1. Limited data is available to support both safety and efficacy at this stage of the study."
