Trial Outcomes & Findings for Green Tea or Polyphenon E in Preventing Lung Cancer in Former Smokers With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (NCT NCT00363805)

NCT ID: NCT00363805

Last Updated: 2013-11-28

Results Overview

the urinary concentrations of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were normalized by the urinary creatinine concentrations to correct for variations in urine dilution/production and the change in urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels was calculated as the 6 months levels minus the baseline levels

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: The number of participants analyzed was less than the number of participants completing the study because the analysis only included samples where the identify of the analyte was confirmed in the sample.

the urinary concentrations of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were normalized by the urinary creatinine concentrations to correct for variations in urine dilution/production and the change in urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels was calculated as the 6 months levels minus the baseline levels
