Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control group  Normal standard procedure for explaining clinical trial participation to patients enrolled in the Control Group. At Visit 2/Final Visit: ALL patients (both Control and Review Groups) will return to the study center. The treating physician will be asked to complete two visits for the purposes of this study, Visit 1 and Visit 2 (+/- 2 weeks). This schedule is designed to cause minimal disruption to the patient’s normal follow-up routine. A one-month follow-up is considered a normal timeline for most benign haematological patients’ follow-up.  
Intervention  Speaking Book  Speaking Book will be available with the subject for the entire duration of the study and they can listen to it whenever required until they come to the site for Visit 2. The treating physician will be asked to complete two visits for the purposes of this study, Visit 1 and Visit 2 (+/- 2 weeks). This schedule is designed to cause minimal disruption to the patient’s normal follow-up routine. A one-month follow-up is considered a normal timeline for most benign haematological patients’ follow-up

Brief Summary  

Prospective, multicentre, qualitative research study to measure the impact of a Speaking Book on patient understanding of clinical trials.

A series of 3 questionnaires (see Annex 1) to assess baseline level knowledge of clinical trials including perception of common  misunderstandings and the impact and ease of the Speaking Book on increasing the level of clinical trial knowledge.

This study also aims to highlight the patient groups needing most support and reinforcement of understanding.

As there is NO randomisation procedure for this study, the only way blinding to the Speaking Book can be achieved is by recruiting patients to two groups.

Assignment will be done at Sponsor level consecutively by site; the site will not know which group will be getting the Speaking Book (review group) Recruitment will continue until an even number of subjects have been recruited at the center resulting in the same number of patients in both Group A and Group B (1:1 randomisation) for an even comparison within the site. Patient numbering will be assigned at the trial level by the sponsor team.
