  • Photosensitivity under the influence of immunocompDevice

    Siascopy measurement of reflected light

What is being measured

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

  1. skin aging defined by melanin, collagen and hemoglobin content

    there is only one time point for measurement, there is no "time frame", just one single measurement per patient at the one and only visit

    Measured: One Time measurement at the one and only time point of inclusion and measurement

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?

skin aging defined by melanin, collagen and hemoglobin content (time frame: One Time measurement at the one and only time point of inclusion and measurement). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01776983, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
