Trial Outcomes & Findings for Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking for Ectasia (CXL) (NCT NCT00674661)

NCT ID: NCT00674661

Last Updated: 2021-04-26

Results Overview

The primary efficacy parameter was corneal curvature, as measured by maximum keratometry (Kmax) in the study eyes. Study success was defined as a difference of ≥1 D in the mean change in Kmax from baseline to 12 months between the CXL group and control group. Keratometry was measured manually and by pentacam.
