Study summary

This study aims to investigate the influences behind patient choices regarding involvement, discontinuation, or re-engagement in keratoconus clinical trials. Uncovering these factors is essential to enhance the relevance and efficacy of future research endeavors.

In essence, this trial aims to deepen understanding of the factors influencing participation in keratoconus clinical trials. Elevating participation rates could expedite the development of innovative treatments for this challenging condition.

Study population

Patients with keratoconus who are actively considering enrolling in a clinical study, but have not yet completed enrollment and randomization.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Signed Written
  • Aged ≥ 18 years old
  • No prior treatment for keratoconus

Exclusion criteria

  • Participant is actively receiving study therapy in another
  • Inability to provide written
  • Women of without a negative pregnancy test; or women who are lactating.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
