  "What result are we expecting, by when, and what is the plan if it does not happen?",
  "If 100 people like me took this drug, how many would actually get better because of it, and how many would be harmed by it? (Doctors call these the number needed to treat and the number needed to harm.)",
  "The most-reported problems in FDA's adverse event data are nausea, fatigue. How would we recognize and handle those?",
  "Off-label use is among the most-reported items for this drug. Is my use on-label, and if not, what evidence supports it?",
