Trial Outcomes & Findings for 5-fluorouracil Versus Placebo in Periocular Full Thickness Skin Grafts (NCT NCT02705352)

NCT ID: NCT02705352

Last Updated: 2020-03-09

Results Overview

Full thickness skin grafts will be measured prior to treatment (at time of surgery) and 12 months after surgery. Although the graft will be measured at each visit, the outcome is the percent change from baseline at 12 months.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: One white male in study group

Full thickness skin grafts will be measured prior to treatment (at time of surgery) and 12 months after surgery. Although the graft will be measured at each visit, the outcome is the percent change from baseline at 12 months.

Population: Unable to recruit more patients.

Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS). This has 2 parts: Patient and Observer Scale. Both contain 6 items scored numerically on a 10 step scale (1 most normal, 10 worst scar imaginable). Together they sum to 'Total Score' of the Patient and Observer Scale. Category boxes are available to score nominal parameters (e.g. type of colour). Moreover, the patient and observer also score their 'Overall Opinion'. Total and subscales are averaged. \*There was 1 participant, and the score average was 1.\*
