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?
Difference of proportion between study groups in the proportion of metabolic syndrome from baseline and the last visit (180 days). (time frame: 180 days). 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 NCT02969720, which also lists 1 linked publication.
