Scientific title | Evaluation of epithelial cell proliferative activity and fibroblasts nucleus kariometry in recurrent pterygium previously treated with mitomycin C |
Study acronym | The Mitomycin Trial |
Study objectives | This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of preventing recurrence by using MitoMycin C (MMC) by eyedrop topical administration and subconjunctival administration previous to Conjunctival Autograft Transplantation (CAT) surgery in cases of recurrence, and evaluating epithelial cell proliferation by the Ki 67 antigen as well as the evaluation of cariometry of conjunctive fibroblasts. |
Ethics approval(s) | Approved by FAMERP (Faculty of Medicine of São José do Rio Preto - São Paulo State) ethics committee on the 13th November 2004 (research protocol No 003186/04). |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Recurrent Pterygium |
Intervention | Twenty-nine patients were randomly divided into three groups according to random numbers: Group one: Nine patients submitted to CAT, using Placebo Eye-Drops (PED) 14 days before the surgery. Group two: Eleven patients submitted to CAT, and administered subconjunctival injection of 0.1 ml of MMC 0.015% in the head of pterygium 30 days before surgery and PED 14 days before surgery. Group three: Nine patients submitted to CAT, using MMC eyedrops of 0.02% 14 days before the surgery. |

Pharmaceutical study type(s) | |
Phase | Not Specified |
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | MitoMycin C (MMC) |
Primary outcome measure | 1. The recurrence rate after six months follow-up 2. The epithelial cell proliferative activity using as marker the antigen Ki-67 3. Fibroblasts nucleus cariometry to evaluate the area and volume of the nucleus |
Secondary outcome measures | To evaluate the safety and efficacy of MMC used topical or subconjunctival route before the surgery treatment of pterygium |
