Who may be eligible to take part?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00145080, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
