About the study
You'll be randomly assigned to receive either the study medication or a placebo for 6 months, with an equal chance of receiving either. Neither you nor the research team will know which you receive.
This study has been designed to be completed from home, but some people may need to attend clinic visits for safety assessments.
What's involved
In addition to taking your assigned medication, you'll complete short questionnaires at the start of the study, and again at 3, 6, and 12 months after joining. These can be done by phone, video call, online, or on paper, whichever works best for you. The team will also check in with you regularly during the trial.
