Update on the COVID-19 pandemic

Information regarding COVID-19 is in constant change, as is the situation regarding vaccination and prioritization for immune-compromised individuals.

If you have any COVID-19-related questions, we’ve created a specific COVID section on our website that can be accessed by clicking here or by selecting the “News & Events” tab from our homepage. In this section, you’ll find the latest news and information about the pandemic in Canada from trustworthy and reliable sources.

Any specific questions that you may have regarding the COVID-19 vaccination, delays between vaccine dosing, and prioritization within your province are best answered by your healthcare team. They’re the ones who know you and your particular situation and are therefore in a position to best address your unique concerns.

Created by, and entirely focused on, Canadians impacted by myeloma, Myeloma Canada is the only national charitable organization committed to providing you with the most up-to-date and reliable information on myeloma. Some of the ways we do this is through our monthly e-newsletter, “Myeloma Matters”, as well as through our social media platforms.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us at contact@myeloma.ca or toll-free at 1-888-798-5771 with any questions regarding our programs and services.

  4. Informed Consent

Informed Consent

Informed consent is voluntary and aims to help you make an educated decision about your participation in a clinical trial. The document ensures that you have been provided with, and understand, all of the key facts about the clinical trial study protocol. This includes the treatment options in each study arm, benefits and risks related to participating in the trial, financial considerations, confidentiality, and much more.

Once you have read and agree with the conditions outlined in the informed consent document, you will be asked to sign it to confirm your participation in the study. If you have any questions about the trial and the informed consent, you are encouraged and have the right to consult your doctor or a member of the clinical trial team before and/or during the trial. You will receive a copy of your signed informed consent form including contact information for the study. You are encouraged to share this with anyone you feel appropriate, and take as long as you need to decide whether to participate.
 

Dropout

You are free to withdraw from the study completely without providing a reason. You may also refuse particular treatments or tests. You must always discuss any deviations from the protocol with your study team.
