About this study

Official title: Randomized Open Crossover Study Researching Affect of Dose Rate on UVR Induced Skin Erythema

Purpose of study: Evaluation of the affect of dose rate on UVR induced skin erythema.

Study design: A single-center, prospective, randomized, crossover, open study.

Number of patients: 20-40

Patient population: Healthy volunteers

Control: Different sites on patients body

Procedure duration: Total 3-5 hours (4 visits)

Duration of follow up: 4 days

Duration of study: Up to 6 months

Primary objectives: To examine the difference in erythemal response as a function of dose rate, and to assess the total amount of energy that is theoretically transmitted through a sunscreen within the range of SPF 2-10.

A study testing exposure to UVB radiation in people with Erythema, run by Goldenhersh, Michael, M.D..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

To examine the difference in erythemal response as a function of dose rate, and to assess the total amount of energy that is theoretically transmitted through a sunscreen within the range of SPF 2-10 (time frame: end of study). 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.
