Why did patients apply to this trial?

I have been living with this disease my entire life. I was missed diagnosed countless times and even told once it was all in my head. I'm willing to help anyway I can if it may result in somebody in the future not having to deal with what I have had to. The quicker Doctors are able to cure or prevent this disease and it's side effects the better off future CD patients will be.
