Trial summary

Some studies indicated that the diabetic corneal endothelium is morphologically abnormal and may be at risk in any intraocular surgical procedure, while others showed no significant differences between diabetic and non-diabetic corneal endothelium.The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in corneal… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Corneal Endothelial Changes Associated With Phacoemulsification in Diabetes

Some studies indicated that the diabetic corneal endothelium is morphologically abnormal and may be at risk in any intraocular surgical procedure, while others showed no significant differences between diabetic and non-diabetic corneal endothelium.The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in corneal endothelial cell density and morphology in diabetic patients and normal patients after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation.To investigate if haemoglobin A1c can be used as a predictor of corneal endothelial cell changes after phacoemulsification.

Specular microscopy photos will be taken pre-. and 3 month postoperatively. Cellular parameters will be compared between the two groups prior and post surgery. Clinical significant difference is defined as 1 SD (300 cell/mm2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Cataract, run by Frederiksberg University Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 2 Mar 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.

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 2 Mar 2010.
