Version date 01Sep2016 Page 10 of 26

Disclosure statement of any financial or non-financial conflict of interest on the part of the investigator or sub-investigators. Statement of whom to call if subject has questions – “For information about your disease and research-related injury, or about this study you may contact (Investigator Name) at (Phone #). For information about your rights as a research subject, you may contact the Chair of Community Medical Centers Institutional Review Board at (559)499-6553.” Also, the following statement must be included verbatim: “ClinicalTrials.gov is a website that provides information about clinical trials. A description of this clinical trial will be available on http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov, as required by U.S. Law. This Web site will not include information that can identify you. At most, the Web site will include a summary of the results. You can search this Web site at any time.” Risks of randomization: You will be assigned to a treatment program by chance, and the treatment you receive may prove to be less effective or to have more side effects than the other study treatment(s) or other available treatments. Risks of blood drawing: Drawing blood may cause temporary discomfort from the needle stick, bruising, and infection. Risk of placebo: If you are in the group that receives placebo, your condition will go without the active (study) treatment for [XX weeks].  Radiation risks: [Include one of the three paragraphs below if your study involves radiation. The paragraph you include will depend on the total effective dose from all treatments used, regardless of whether they are standard of care or experimental. Studies in which patients will receive different total effective doses should either use the maximum possible dose that a patient could receive or use multiple consent forms. IN NO INSTANCE SHOULD A PATIENT RECEIVE MORE RADIATION THAN THE MAXIMUM STATED ON THE CONSENT FORM.]

Total Effective Dose of <3 mSv This research study involves exposure to radiation from [type of procedure]. This radiation exposure is not necessary for your medical care and is for research purposes only. The additional amount of radiation that you will receive as a result of participating in this study will be less than the yearly natural background radiation in the US (3 mSv). The use of radiation involves minimal risk and is required to obtain the desired research information. If you are pregnant or breast feeding, you SHOULD NOT participate in this study. If you have any questions regarding the use of radiation or the risks involved, please consult the physician conducting the study.

Effective Dose of 3 to 50 mSv This research study involves exposure to radiation from [type of procedure]. This radiation exposure is not necessary for your medical care and is for research purposes only. The additional amount of radiation that you will receive as a result of participating in this study will be a maximum of approximately [insert amount] mSv, which is equivalent to [insert amount] the yearly natural background of radiation in the US (3 mSv). The use of radiation may involve a low risk of cancer and is required to obtain the desired research information. If you are pregnant or breast feeding, you SHOULD NOT participate in this study. If you have any questions regarding the use of radiation or the risks involved, please consult the physician conducting the study.

Effective Dose of >50 mSv

Version date 01Sep2016 Page 11 of 26

This research study involves exposure to radiation as part of the protocol. This radiation exposure is not necessary for your medical care and is for research purposes only. The additional amount of radiation that you will receive as a result of participating in this study will be a maximum of approximately [insert amount] mSv, which is equivalent to [insert amount] the yearly natural background of radiation in the US (3 mSv). The use of radiation in this research study involves a low risk of cancer. However, the UCSF Radiation Safety Committee has reviewed the use of radiation in this research study and has designated this use as acceptable to obtain the benefits provided by the results of the study. If you are pregnant or breast feeding, you SHOULD NOT participate in this study. If you have any questions regarding the use of radiation or the risks involved, please consult the physician conducting the study.

Risk of CT scan: CT scans involve the risks of radiation (see above). In addition, if contrast material (iodine dye) is used, there is a slight risk of developing an allergic reaction, from mild (itching, rash) to severe (difficulty breathing, shock, or rarely, death). The contrast material may also cause kidney problems, especially if you are dehydrated or have poor kidney function. The study doctors will ask you about any allergies or related conditions before the procedure. If you have any of these problems, you may not be allowed to have a CT scan [/continue in the study].

Having a CT scan may mean some added discomfort for you. In particular, you may be bothered by feelings of claustrophobia when placed inside the CT scanner, or by lying in one position for a long time. If contrast material is used, you may feel discomfort when it is injected [/given by XXX]. You may feel warm and flushed and get a metallic taste in your mouth. Rarely, the contrast material may cause nausea, vomiting or a headache. [List other risks as appropriate to the method by which contrast agent is administered]. [If sedation may be used, discuss risks of sedation here]. Risks of MRI: Because the MRI machine acts like a large magnet, it could move iron-containing objects in the MRI room during your examination, which could in the process possibly harm you. Precautions have been taken to prevent such an event from happening; loose metal objects, like pocket knives or key chains, are not allowed in the MRI room. If you have a piece of metal in your body, such as a fragment in your eye, aneurysm clips, ear implants, spinal nerve stimulators, or a pacemaker, you will not be allowed into the MRI room and cannot have an MRI.

Having an MRI may mean some added discomfort for you. In particular, you may be bothered by feelings of claustrophobia and by the loud banging noise during the study. Temporary hearing loss has been reported from this loud noise. This is why you will be asked to wear ear plugs. At times during the test, you may be asked to not swallow for a while, which can be uncomfortable.

[If appropriate, also discuss the risks of contrast agents and/or sedation here].

Because the risks to a fetus from MRI are unknown, pregnant women cannot participate in this study. Reproductive risks: You should not become pregnant or father a baby while on this study because the drug(s) in this study can affect an unborn baby. Women should not breastfeed a baby while on this study. It is important to understand that you need to use birth control while on this study. Check with your study doctor about what kind of birth control methods to use and how long to use them. Some methods might not be approved for use in this study. [Include a statement about possible sterility when appropriate. For example, "Some of the drugs used in the study may make you unable to have children in the future." If appropriate, include a statement in the section on procedures that

Version date 01Sep2016 Page 12 of 26 pregnancy testing will be required.] HIV testing risks: Being tested for HIV may cause anxiety regardless of the test results. A positive test indicates that you have been infected with the HIV virus, but no one knows for certain when, if ever, you will become sick with AIDS or a related condition. Receiving positive results may make you very upset. If other people learn about your positive test results, you may have trouble obtaining insurance or employment. If your test is negative, there is still the possibility that you could be infected with the HIV virus and test positive at some time in the future. Also, it is always possible that the test results could be wrong. Statement of Research Related Injury  For CMC Studies: “In the event of a research related injury, medical care will be available. However the cost of care will by charged to you or your insurance company. By signing this consent form, you will not be waiving any of the legal rights to which you would otherwise be entitled. You may also contact the Community Medical Centers IRB office at (559) 499-6553 for further information.”  For studies conducted by UCSF Fresno Physicians/Staff: The following statement must be used in its entirety, and may not be modified “Treatment and Compensation for Injury: If you are injured as a result of being in this study, the University of California will provide necessary medical treatment. The costs of the treatment may be billed to you or your insurer just like any other medical costs, or covered by the University of California or the study sponsor [sponsor name], depending on a number of factors. The University and the study sponsor do not normally provide any other form of compensation for injury. For further information about this, you may call the office of the Community Medical Centers IRB office at (559) 499-6553.” A statement that significant new findings developed during the course of the research which may relate to the subject's willingness to continue participation will be provided to the subject Subject printed name, CMC Medical Record number, date/time signature lines Investigator printed name, date/time signature lines Witness printed name, date/time signature lines Person obtaining informed consent printed name, date/time signature lines Footer with “subject’s initials_____” Page numbers in header or footer
