About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Sensitivity and Specificity of Optical Coherence Tomography Combined With Fundus Color Photos for Diagnosis of Choroidal Neovessels in Age-related Macular Degeneration

Determination of the sensitivity and specificity of different combinations of imaging techniques (spectral domain optical coherence tomography, fundus photography and fluorescein angiography) used for the diagnosis of choroidal neovessels complicating age -related macular degeneration. This information will help to determine the choice of the most suitable combination for the above diagnosis.

Read the detailed description

The following combinations will be studied: spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) + fundus photography; fluorescein angiography + fundus photography and the combination of all three techniques (OCT+ fundus photography + fluorescein angiography).The sensitivity and specificity of the latter combination will be assessed by comparison with the results for this combination reported by several readers. Inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of the different combinations will also be studied.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of optical coherence tomography combined with fundus color photos in the diagnosis of choroidal neovessels in age- related macular degeneration.

    Measured: all outcome the day of inclusion

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of fluorescein angiography combined with fundus color photography in the diagnosis of choroidal neovessels in age - related macular degeneration.

    Measured: all the outcome the day of inclusion

  2. Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of optical coherence tomography combined with fundus color photography, and of fluorescein angiography combined with fundus color photography.

    Measured: all outcome the day of inclusion

  3. Rate of unusable images for each technique

    Measured: all outcome the day of inclusion

  4. Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of optical coherence tomography combined with fundus color photography for the diagnosis of sub-categories of choroidal neovessels

    Measured: all outcome the day of inclusion

  5. Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of fluorescein angiography combined with fundus color photography for the diagnosis of sub-categories of choroidal neovessels.

    Measured: all outcome the day of inclusion

  6. Evaluation of the intra-and inter-reader reproducibility of the diagnosis of choroidal neovessels in age-related macular degeneration using fluorescein angiography combined with fundus color photography.

    Measured: all outcome the day of inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Choroidal Vessels; Anastomosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of optical coherence tomography combined with fundus color photos in the diagnosis of choroidal neovessels in age- related macular degeneration. (time frame: all outcome the day of inclusion). 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 Jul 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
