Your first visit is usually a screening appointment where the team confirms your eligibility through medical history review, physical exams, and lab tests. If you qualify, subsequent visits follow a set schedule. Treatment visits may involve receiving medication, an infusion, or a procedure. The team will check vital signs, draw blood for safety labs, and ask about side effects using standardized questionnaires. Some visits include imaging scans or specialized tests. Each visit typically lasts 1 to 4 hours depending on the procedures required. Between visits, you may complete symptom diaries or use an app to report your health. The research team is available between visits if you have questions or concerns.
