The purpose of this research is to test a new investigational vaccine, VAX-31.

A screening visit is your first visit to our facility and takes roughly 2-4 hours. After filling out paperwork and reviewing a consent form, one of our nurses will go over the details to ensure your understanding.

Informed consent is the process of our volunteers being given all the information about the study. For your protection, all clinical trial facilities MUST give you all the details (including risks and benefits) pertaining to the study before you give consent to volunteer. All volunteers must sign the informed consent before they can participate in a trial. As the study progresses, there could be additional informed consent forms that require your signature.
JCCT takes this process very seriously. You will be given 1 on 1 time with one of our nurses to go over the consent form and ask as many questions as you need before you sign.
