About this study

Official title: Retinal Oxygen Reactivity in Patients Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Ocular lesions, including cotton wool spots and retinal hemorrhage, are a common feature of HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The aetiology of these apparently vasoocclusive phenomena in HIV related retinopathy is not well understood. Several hypotheses including infectious damage of the retinal vasculature and altered retinal hemodynamics have been postulated. The latter would be compatible with the theory that the retina of HIV patients is hypoxic. However, direct measurement of oxygen tension in the retina is not possible and indirect methods have to be employed. The study objective was to investigate the reactivity in retinal blood flow to 100% oxygen breathing in patients with HIV.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 100% O2 in people with HIV Infections and Retina, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reactivity in retinal blood flow during 100% O2 breathing expressed as percent change. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2007.
