EGPA Research Study Opportunity
Fieldwork is helping to find participants for upcoming research related to Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA). This research study is being conducted to evaluate the usability of different injector devices that could be used in the treatment of EGPA.
The study will consist of one visit to a research facility (locations will be within the United States and specific states will be selected based on where qualified participants reside). During the session, participants will be asked to simulate the use of a prototype injector device on a pad and to review supplied informational materials. Participants will be asked a few questions about their experience and preferences as well as asked to identify any areas of difficulty or anything they feel could be improved. You will not be asked to inject yourself and there is no medication used in this study.
This research session will last approximately 60 minutes, in-person and qualified participants will receive $350 for their valued feedback.
We are currently conducting a preliminary assessment of US cities to determine where we will be hosting this research based on where qualified candidates reside. If your city is selected and you meet the preliminary criteria, we will be in touch with additional information once the study is scheduled.

Seeking Perspectives from those with EGPA
Posted November 2024
Virtue Research is looking to help understand the treatment and management of EGPA (Churg-Strauss Syndrome). They are seeking adults with EGPA receiving medical care in the US to participate in an online market research journal opportunity. Input will remain anonymous to their client and will help with future research for the unmet needs in EGPA care. If you qualify and participate in the online journal board, they ask for 10-minutes a week, spread out over 12 weeks, and you will be compensated $360 for your time. This will be paid by check in 4-6 weeks after you complete your survey (USPS). To get started, visit https://app.virtueresearch.com/#/login

Survey for Adults with EoE
Posted September 2024
Researchers at the Duke Clinical Research Institute are conducting interviews to evaluate a decision-support tool developed to help patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) choose among treatment options. The research team is looking to interview adults with EoE who are newly diagnosed or those who are looking to start/change treatments. The interviews are 1-hour long and conducted online over Zoom. Participants will receive compensation for completing the interview. If you are interested, please contact Alicja Mastylak at alicja.mastylak@duke.edu and leave your contact information so the research team may contact you to tell you more about the study and answer any questions you may have.
