Compensation

When you participate in this study, you will receive a compensation for every study visit done, which is ten study visits in total. And your personal share of the costs linked to the used biological therapy during the main study of 1,5 years will be reimbursed.

During the main study of 1,5 years and the long term follow-up of three years, you will receive a compensation of 25 euros per study visit to cover for your time and effort (maximum 250 euros). You will receive this compensation of 25 euros per study visit from the staff. When you receive this compensation, you sign a receipt. There are ten trial specific study visits for which you will receive a compensation.

If you have to pay your personal financial share of the costs of the study medication (intravenous or subcutaneous) and the corresponding day hospitalization (only with intravenous administration of study medication), then you will have to keep the receipts and give them to the trial staff. The trial staff will pay back your personal financial share of the costs of the study medication and corresponding day hospitalization during the main study of one year and a half via money transfer on your bank account every six months. Refund is only possible upon issue of a proof of payment. Possibly, this refund does not apply to you if you did not pay your personal share in these specific costs.

The consultations and endoscopic examinations during this trial are labeled as standard of care and will be paid by the participant. The trial specific examinations (amongst others, blood analysis of the eventually extra blood sample of the screening visit and analysis of two out of six fecal samples) are paid by study budget and will be free of charge for you. 

Your treating physician and the trial staff shall contact you for the practical arrangements.
