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 focused on measuring the number of days spent in the hospital — can you explain what intervention or approach is being tested here, and how it might affect my length of stay compared to standard care for acute decompensated heart failure?
2Since this trial is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' do you know when it's expected to open, and would it make sense for me to begin standard treatment now rather than waiting to see if I qualify?
3The trial phase is listed as 'NA,' which means it may not follow the typical Phase 1–3 structure — can you help me understand what that means for how much is already known about the safety and effectiveness of whatever is being studied?
4Acute decompensated heart failure can be a medical emergency — if I were enrolled in this trial, would my immediate care and treatment decisions still be guided primarily by what's best for my condition, or would the study protocol place any constraints on that?
5Are there standard treatments for acute decompensated heart failure that you would recommend I consider first, and how does this trial compare to those options in terms of what we already know about outcomes?

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.
