About this study

Official title: Assessment of Retinal Functional Abnormalities in Diabetic Patients Without Retinopathy

The primary purpose was to assess, in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy and control subjects, color vision, contrast sensitivity, electroretinography, and flicker-induced vasodilatation using the Dynamic Vessel Analyzer, in order to specify the earliest impaired retinal cells in diabetes, and gain more insight into diabetic retinopathy pathogenesis.

Read the detailed description

Type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients with no diabetic retinopathy and no hypertension were compared with sex and age-matched control subjects. Color vision was tested with the desaturated LANTHONY 15-Hue test. Contrast sensitivity was assessed with the Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity test. Pattern-electroretinogram, Ganzfeld full-field electroretinogram and multifocal electroretinogram were recorded according to the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV). Flicker-induced vasodilatation in retinal arteries and veins was assessed using the Dynamic Vessel Analyzer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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 19 Sep 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 France. 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 NCT00839150, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Sep 2011.
