About this study

Official title: Pattern Electroretinogram and Multifocal Pattern Electroretinogram For the Detection of Neural Loss in Patients With Permanent Temporal Visual Field Defect From Chiasmal Compression

The study is designed to evaluate the ability of pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and multifocal pattern electroretinogram (mfPERG) to measure and identify the pattern of band atrophy of the optic nerve in patients with long standing chiasmal lesions. The hypothesis is that these electrophysiological tests were able to identify this such pattern. The idea is to investigate the ability of the these electrophysiological technics in detecting the neural loss from chiasmal compression and to evaluate the ability of PERG and mfPERG parameters to differentiate between eyes with band atrophy of the optic nerve and healthy eyes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Band Atrophy, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 8 Aug 2011. 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 Brazil. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00553761, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 8 Aug 2011.
