A Plain Language Summary (PLS) is an easy-to-read summary of the main results from a clinical trial. These summaries share the trial findings, recognize the important role of the people who took part in the trial, and help them learn more about the research they were part of.

These summaries are meant for people who took part in the trial, as well as their caregivers or legal guardians.

Plain language summaries are made available on this site within 12 months after the trial ends.
