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 was terminated before completing — do you know why it was stopped early, and does that affect whether its findings on oxygen desaturation are reliable enough to inform my care?
2Since this study was comparing using an uncuffed breathing tube versus no breathing tube at all during a lung procedure, which approach would you recommend for me given my specific pulmonary condition, and why?
3Because this trial is listed as 'Phase NA,' meaning it may have been more of a procedural or device comparison rather than a drug study, how does that affect what we actually know about the safety and risks of each approach?
4Given that the trial is no longer enrolling, are there other active studies or current standard-of-care guidelines on airway management for multiple pulmonary diseases that we should be looking at together?
5If oxygen desaturation — a drop in blood oxygen levels — was the main thing being measured in this trial, what does that risk look like for me personally, and how would my care team monitor and respond to it during any procedure I might need?

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.
