Is this investigation unprecedented in its nature?
"Research into hyaluronidase commenced in 2018 with a clinical trial funded by Hoffmann-La Roche which involved 500 participants. Subsequently, the drug was approved after Phase 3 trials and today there are 6 active research projects spanning 48 cities across 19 nations."
Has Hyaluronidase obtained authorization from the Federal Drug Administration?
"The safety of hyaluronidase was evaluated as a 2 on the 1-3 scale due to its Phase 2 status, which implies that there is data backing up this drug's security but no evidence yet for efficacy."
What are the regular applications of Hyaluronidase?
"Hyaluronidase is commonly utilized to enhance the dispersal and absorption of other injected medications. Additionally, this compound can be used in treatment plans for conditions such as hypodermoclysis, parenteral drug administration, and urography."
What are the primary goals of this research project?
"This scientific experiment, which encompasses a period of around 9 weeks, will assess the Change in upper limb Fugl-Meyer Scale Score. Secondary assessment criteria include Total upper limb active range of motion evaluated through shoulder, elbow and forearm joints; Changes in upper limb Fugl-Meyer Assessment score (0 to 66 scale with higher scores indicative of better results); And alterations observed in Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) Scores (6 items scored from 0 to 5 where greater numbers are associated with improved outcomes)."
Are there any previous investigations that have centered around Hyaluronidase?
"Currently, there are 6 ongoing studies focusing on Hyaluronidase; 1 of which is in the terminal phase. While Lebanon, New hampshire serves as its epicentre, trials for this medication can be found across 140 sites worldwide."
