About this study

Official title: Pharmacological Intervention Against Diabetic Retinal Flow Disturbances.

The purpose of this study is to determine if diabetic retinopathy can be treated with prostaglandin analogues, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors or carbonic anhydrases inhibitors.

Read the detailed description

Disturbances in retinal perfusion is believed to be involved in the pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy. These disturbances may be due to changes in the basal diameter of retinal arterioles and to disturbances in the autoregulation of the diameter of these vessels when the blood pressure and the retinal metabolism changes. In vitro studies have shown that prostaglandins and carbonic anhydrases inhibitors are involved in the tone regulation of retinal arterioles, but it is unknown whether this finding is relevant in clinical practice. This can be tested in vivo by an retinal vessel analyzer measuring the dynamics of the retinal vessel diameter changes.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Latanoprost, diclofenac and dorzolamide (eyedrops), Diclofenac and Dorzolamide in people with Diabetic Retinopathy, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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 29 Dec 2010. 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 Denmark. 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?

Diameter of retinal blood vessels (time frame: one year). 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 29 Dec 2010.
