Crosslinking Trials in USA

Postby Grifteruk » Thu 21 Feb 2008 6:29 pm

A while ago i mentioned to Tim Tim that i'd seen referrence to C3R trials in USA.

Well i've stumbled across the site again. The link is:

Thought this may be of use to people looking for a USA option. Maybe this is old news but as tesco says ... every little helps!!

Good link, thanks

There are now several trials underway in the Unites States. This means that they will be looking for subjects on whom to try the technique and then the results will go into a process of evaluation. It may be that the FDA will be making a decision about CXL at about the same time as NICE in England.
