What is being measured

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

  1. Closure of tympanic membrane perforation in the observation period at16 wks

    Measured: Closure of tympanic membrane perforation in the observation period at16 wks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Closure of tympanic membrane perforation in the observation period at 4 wks

    Measured: Closure of tympanic membrane perforation in the observation period at 4 wks

  2. Improvement of hearing level in the observation period at 4 wks and 16 wks

    Measured: Improvement of hearing level in the observation period at 4 wks and 16 wks

  3. Air-bone gap in the observation period at 4 wks and 16 wks

    Measured: Air-bone gap in the observation period at 4 wks and 16 wks

  4. The difference of the average hearing level of air conduction threshold from the treatment at 0 wk and observation period at 4wks and 6 wks

    Measured: The difference of the average hearing level of air conduction threshold from the treatment at 0 wk and observation period at 4wks and 6 wks

  5. Average hearing level of air conduction threshold in the observation period at 4 wks and 16 wks

    Measured: Average hearing level of air conduction threshold in the observation period at 4 wks and 16 wks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fiblast,gelatin sponge,fibrin glue in people with Tympanic Membrane Perforation, run by Translational Research Center for Medical Innovation, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2016. 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.

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?

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?

Closure of tympanic membrane perforation in the observation period at16 wks (time frame: Closure of tympanic membrane perforation in the observation period at16 wks). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Dec 2016.
