Trial summary

Objective perimetry can better monitor visual field defects in RP and Glaucoma patients than conventional subjective perimetry.The PLR ( Pupil Light Reflex ) of the short and long wave ratio should be significantly higher in areas of visual field defects in RP and Glaucoma patients.

About this study

Official title: Objective Perimetry in Normal Subjects,Glaucoma Patients and Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients .

Objective perimetry can better monitor visual field defects in RP and Glaucoma patients than conventional subjective perimetry.The PLR ( Pupil Light Reflex ) of the short and long wave ratio should be significantly higher in areas of visual field defects in RP and Glaucoma patients.

Read the detailed description

Pupil light reflex will be measured by a pupillometer in response to short and long wavelength light small spot stimulus in different area of the visual field. The PRL will be measured in four quadrant, central, 10, 20, and 30 degree from the visual axis.

Stimulus duration will be 1000 ms (1 sec), with intervals of 890 ms between stimuli. The stimuli size V with light intensity of 39.8 cd-s/m2 for both short wavelength stimuli (peak 485 nm) and long wavelength stimuli (peak 620nm).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinitis Pigmentosa and Glaucoma, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 5 inclusion and 15 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 Nov 2014. 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 Israel. 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?

PLR response amplitude and latency (time frame: Not defined yet). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01021982, which also lists 5 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 19 Nov 2014.
