This includes your healthcare use, recent disease activity and the medicines you take. We will extract this for each doctor\u2019s visit until the date we expected you to finish the trial. After that date, we will not extract any more information from your record.<\/p>\n<p>You do not need to provide anything yourself. A member of the clinical team at your hospital will gather this information for us. The study team at The University of Manchester will not have access to your full medical records.
