The official record does not clearly spell out the visit format, but it appears to be coordinated directly by the research team. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent and matching the main diagnosis, while common reasons not to take part include other factors that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard numbered clinical-trial phase.
