What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. percentage of corneal pterygium area

    Prior to receive the treatments, patients were asked to evaluate grading of their own symptoms and underwent clinical grading of the elevation and inflammation of the lesions using slit lamp biomicroscopy by an opthalmologist (OE). Digital photographs of each eye with pterygium were obtained for corneal pterygium area analysis [Sony Mavica digital still camera MVC-FD83, Japan]. Each patient was randomly assigned into either treatment group or control group using computer-generated random numbers table.

    Number of patients with adverse events will be recorded.

    Measured: 3 years

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

percentage of corneal pterygium area (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
