Lived-experience advisor: cell therapy for acute stroke

Who it’s for: Survivors of stroke, family members or carers
What it involves: Join a research team
Where: Online (anywhere)

Summary:

Researchers from La Trobe University are looking at a novel treatment of intravenous human amniotic epithelial cells to see whether this reduces disability after an acute ischemic stroke.

They are seeking members of the community with a lived experience of stroke to advise on the study design, participant information and consent forms, and study outcome measures.

Eligibility:

• Lived experience of having a stroke, or caring for someone and/or being the medical decision maker for someone who has had a stroke.
• Able to read and understand a clinical trial synopsis and participant information and consent forms.

Activity:

Working directly with senior members of the research team, the lived experience advisor will provide advice about the study design during its planning and pre-ethics submission stages.
