      Journey DX, a patient research company, is working with patient advocacy group Canadian Skin Patient Alliance (CSPA) on research to understand the potential impact of pembrolizumab on the patient experience.

      The research will be used as part of the CSPA patient input submission, to advocate for provincial coverage of pembrolizumab in Canada, so that patients may have access to this drug without paying for it out-of-pocket.

      We are conducting telephone interviews (30-45 minutes) with:

      1) Individuals from Canada or the US who have been in a pembrolizumab trial

      2) caregivers for individuals who have been in a pembrolizumab trial

      Absolutely no names or identifying information will be reported.

      A compensation of $50 will be provided to those who participate, in appreciation of their time.

      If you would like to be involved or would simply like more information, please contact Dr. Jennifer Pereira, Research Director of Journey DX ([email protected], 416-485-7387).

      Thank you very much for your consideration.

          Hi Dr. Pereira. Is this only for people that received pembro in trial as opposed to those who received it as standard of care?

              Hi Paul,

              Thank you for your question –  yes, we're happy to include anyone who has taken pembrolizumab, in a trial or as part of regular care.
