[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1597348, member: 380756"] What you want to find out are the "materials and methods" of the proposed study, as well as the "opening statement" they start out with that outlines the purpose of the study, and how they propose to prove/disprove their hypothesis. For instance if they want to compare the results of this drug in people with high antibody titers (like you) with people who have not much antibody present to see if those people get some benefit and people like you do not you might think twice about exposing yourself to whatever risk is associated with the drug. You'd sort of be a member of the "control group" as it were, as opposed to the people with new diabetes who have very low antibody levels that might have a better chance of responding to a drug (if it works and doesn't mess you up) than you.
