About this study

Official title: Comparison of 24-hour Continuous IOP Monitoring With a Contact Lens-based Sensor to Goldmann Applanation Tonometry

A study in which intraocular pressure (IOP) will be monitored over 24 hours using the SENSIMED Triggerfish® device and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in primary open angle glaucoma patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the comparability of diurnal IOP patterns emerging from SENSIMED Triggerfish and GAT.

Being tested
SENSIMED Triggerfish
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. SENSIMED Triggerfish output values

    Patients will undergo one session of 24-hour SENSIMED Triggerfish continuous intraocular pressure monitoring in one eye.

    Measured: During 24 hours

  2. Goldmann applanation tonometry values

    Goldmann applanation IOP readings will be done in the other eye at regular intervals during 24-hour SENSIMED Triggerfish IOP monitoring and in both eyes during another 24-hour session.

    Measured: During 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, run by Sensimed AG at 2 sites in Germany.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 3 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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?

SENSIMED Triggerfish output values (time frame: During 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Aug 2011.
