Thank you and goodbye (for now) from the ALPHA team! ๐
Analysis will begin in January 2022, with results expected in the summer of 2022, so watch this space! ๐
Some more wise words from ALPHA patient June ๐
There are only 5 DAYS LEFT until we stop recruiting new patients for the ALPHA trial. If you or someone you know suffers from severe hand #eczema get involved with life-changing research whilst you still can! ๐ฌ #makeadifference
We are only recruiting patients until the end of June - thatโs less than 4 weeks left to get involved with ALPHA and to contribute to the largest severe hand eczema trial ๐
If steroid creams arenโt working for you, why not give the ALPHA study a go whilst you still can? ๐ก
Wanting to get involved with research but not sure about the time commitment involved? Weโve got you covered!
Here June shares how ALPHA worked for her and her schedule ๐
We have just 4 weeks left, so get involved with life-changing research whilst you can ๐ฌ#makeadifference
