Being in the Trial
You've made the leap and joined the trial, but sometimes you've still got a few questions. Follow the journey of patients like you to to get a few answers, and don't forget you can always ask your study team too!
About Pagoda Xplained
Starting a clinical trial can be daunting – doctors use language that everyday people may not understand, making them feel confused and anxious.
That's why Medicine X has created Pagoda Xplained. Pagoda Xplained is here to help everyone understand what's involved in a trial so they can feel informed and empowered about their health.
If you ever have any questions don't be shy to ask your study doctor - they're there to help you!
Dedicated Team
The Medicine X team is made up of doctors, artists, and creative writers that all work to make sure the information is easy to understand both in content and visuals.
