• Incorporate provided cohort definitions and screening criteria into the overall survey flow.

• Design relevant questions covering areas such as patient segmentation, disease severity, treatment pathways, therapy selection, treatment switching, clinical decision-making, and unmet needs.

• Structure appropriate response options, scales, follow-up questions, skip logic, and other survey elements where required.

• Follow provided survey-writing guidelines and existing templates closely to ensure the final deliverable matches the required format and style.

• Review the completed survey for clinical accuracy, logical flow, clarity, neutrality, and completeness before submission.
