Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is no longer actively recruiting — is there any chance I could still be considered for it, or are there similar app-based psychosocial support studies I should look into instead?
2Since this trial is focused on improving quality of life for people with chronic graft-versus-host disease after an allogeneic stem cell transplant, how does it fit alongside my current medical treatment for cGVHD — would participating in any way affect my standard care?
3The trial measures quality of life using a questionnaire called the FACT-BMT — what kinds of changes in day-to-day functioning or wellbeing is it designed to detect, and do you think those areas reflect what I'm personally struggling with?
4Since this is a mobile app intervention rather than a drug or procedure, what do you see as the main practical demands — like how often I'd need to use the app or complete check-ins — and is that realistic given everything else I'm managing right now?
5Are there other psychosocial support resources you'd recommend for someone in my situation with chronic graft-versus-host disease, especially if I can't join this particular trial?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
