Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Centralised randomisation by computer using a password protected webserver.
As in any centralised method, individual patient treatment assignment will not be revealed until the potential participant is determined to be truely eligible for the trial and patient identifiers are submitted over the web.
Persons recruiting patients into the trial will not be able to predict or influence treatment assignments, hence concealing treatment allocation.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computerised (SAS)
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
