About this study

Official title: Discriminating Ability of the Cirrus HD OCT for Glaucoma

The Cirrus HD OCT, a new spectral domain optical coherence tomography, has better resolution than the previous OCT. Reproducibility and discriminating ability of the Cirrus HD OCT for glaucoma detection will be studied.

Read the detailed description

The Cirrus HD OCT is a newly developed imaging device of the spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Even though its resolution and speed are much better than the previous OCT, its reproducibility and diagnostic power for detecting the glaucomatous defect of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) have not known yet. In the present study, we will review the data of RNFL thickness measurement using the Cirrus HD OCT. After assessing the inter-test variability, the discriminating ability of the Cirrus HD OCT for glaucoma diagnosis will be determined by the ROC curves.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness

    Measured: when the OCT images are taking

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Red-free fundus photo

    Measured: when the OCT images are taking

  2. Visual field

    Measured: when the OCT images are taking

  3. Intraocular pressure

    Measured: when the OCT images are taking

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glaucoma, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2008. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Gong Je Seong, MD, PhD (82-2-2019-3441, gjseong@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (time frame: when the OCT images are taking). 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 23 Sep 2008.
