To the team lead by Magí Farré Albaladejo and Astrid Hernández of the IMIM Foundation for the project: Placebo information in clinical trials and its influence on participant decision.
This project consists of two sub-projects. The first is based on a review of how the placebo is explained on the information and consent pages for clinical trials presented to the CEIC-Parc de Salut Mar (Clinical Investigation Ethics Committee). The second, in a simulated clinical trial, aims to discover whether the amount of information provided to patients on the placebo, in the information pages, influences their decision to take part or otherwise.
