The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Number of Participants Who Developed Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) (time frame: Baseline until non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosis, loss-to-follow-up due to death or termination of the health plan or end of the study, assessed up to Year 8). 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?
