UNDERSTANDING OF PARTICIPANTS 
7. I have been given an opportunity to ask any questions 
concerning the investigational drug regimen involved and the 
investigator has been willing to reply to my inquiries. This 
investigational drug regimen will be administered under the 
above numbered, titled and described clinical research 
protocol at this institution. I hereby authorize Dr. 
, the attending physician/ investigator and 
designated associates to administer this investigational drug 
regimen. 
8. I have been told and understand that my participation is 
voluntary. I may decide not to participate, or withdraw my 
consent and discontinue my participation at any time. Such 
action will be without prejudice and there shall be no penalty 
or loss of benefits to which I may otherwise be entitled, and 
I will continue to receive treatment by my physician at this 
institution. 
Should I decide not to participate or withdraw my consent from 
participation in this clinical research, I have been advised 
that I should discuss the consequences or effects of my 
decision with my physician. 
In addition, I understand that the investigator may 
discontinue the clinical research study if, in the sole 
opinion and discretion of the investigator, the study or 
treatment offers me little or no future benefit, or the supply 
of medication ceases to be available or other causes prevent 
continuation of the clinical research study. The investigator 
will notify me should such circumstances arise and my 
physician will advise me about available treatment which may 
be of benefit at that time. 
I will be informed of any new findings developed during the 
course of this clinical research study, which may relate to my 
willingness to continue participation in the study. 
9. I have been assured that confidentiality will be preserved 
except that qualified monitors from the Food and Drug 
Administration may review my records where appropriate and 
necessary. My name will not be revealed in any reports or 
publications resulting from this study, without my expressed 
consent. 
10. I have been informed that should I suffer any injury as a 
result of participation in this research activity, reasonable 
medical facilities are available at this institution. I 
understand, however, that I cannot expect to receive any 
credit or reimbursement for expenses from this institution or 
any financial compensation from this institution for such 
injury.
