Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

Who may be eligible to take part?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Does weight decrease the amount of UVB needed to clear psoriasis (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
