I think in this case it's a Phase 2 trial, which from memory is an early stage trial, probably not with a control group and probably aimed at determining whether pwME tolerate the drug, drop out rates, and whether enough report some improvement to justify a bigger double blind controlled trial.
Yes, I agree, there are clues here that this is the usual BPS crap. In principle the idea of apps to help patients access info, record outcomes and keep in touch with clinicians are a good idea, but not if they simply host all the old crap.
Has the trial protocol been registered on a recognised site?
If so it should name the drug, the name of the research team leader and the ethics approval, and stuff about outcome measures, duration, number of participants etc.
Some things I would want to know.
Name of drug
What it's already used for
Side effects
Number of doses and length of trial
Will they be trying different doses and will there be a control group getting a placebo
What patient reported outcome measures will they use?
What happens if I have bad...

Here's what it says on the website:

Judging from the examples given in the fundraising document they are focused particularly on very severe ME/CFS, including those with feeding problems and on hospital care.
I think it's an important aspect of ME/CFS care in the UK that is most urgent to be addressed by government and that they...
It seems from the correspondence with the doctor that he has no idea what PEM is, equating it with post exertional fatigue. I wonder whether it would be worth sending him some more detailed explanations of PEM from various sources, including our fact sheet.
