The eligibility of one subject.

Since we have received the eligibility form of the subject， what do you think about this subject? is he eligible for the study? because we have some communication about this subject. When I received the form, I have raised some questions about this subject, such as whether the disease is refractory or relaxed, the reason for the thyrodectomy and the third one I want to know if the infection is controlled or not. The global team also gave their comments because based on the description of the e. f. this patient had partial response to the last line of management …. so our protocol should be called relapsed disease, but sites considered it as a refractory disease. For this point, we have communicated with the investigators and let them know the definition of re. and re disease. She understood it and finally chnaged the eligibility f0rm. We know it’s very important because it’s the stratification factor in the study. When this answer is entered in the system, it cannot be changed. We have realized it is very important and have communicated with the investigator.

Today we want to discuss the following three topics./there are 3 topics on our list. The first one is the eligibility form of one subject we have already talked about in our email. We have received the eligibility form of the subject on Thursday. I wanted to ask for your opinions – what do you think about this subject? is he eligible for the study? We have already had some discussion/discussed about this subject, so I will only briefly talk about the background information./After our email communication, based on our email communication, some new info came up. I had questions about this subject, such as whether the disease is refractory or relapsed, the reason for the thyroidectomy and whether the infection is controlled or not. The global team’s comments are that based on the description of the e. f. this patient had partial response to the last line of management …. so our protocol should be considered/categorized as relapsed disease, but the sites considered it as a refractory disease. On this point, we have communicated again with the investigators and reconfirmed/clarified the definition of relapse vs refractory disease. She agreed and finally changed it on the eligibility f0rm. We know it’s very important because it’s the stratification factor in the study. When this answer is entered in the system, it cannot be changed. We have realized it is very important and have communicated with the investigator.

How to introduce a new situation/direction in your speaking:

• have opener sentences. (talk about…)
• descriptive vs active sentences. (Their response about … -> They gave us their response.) -> when you use SVO for background, use past tense
• add the date (On Thursday, we received their reply)
• After that, consequently, … However, …
• I had questions about …. -> My questions about … +V +O (wordiness)
• change of Subject (zhuyu) -> something came up
