Trial summary

The primary goal of this study is to determine the effective lens position (ELP) - or location an intraocular lens (IOL) "sits" in the eye - of the Softec HD IOL. A secondary study goal is to determine if measures of the eye taken prior to surgery can reliably predict postoperative ELP. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Lens Effective Position, Stability and Prediction With a 12mm Uniplanar, Biaspheric Intraocular Lens

The primary goal of this study is to determine the effective lens position (ELP) - or location an intraocular lens (IOL) "sits" in the eye - of the Softec HD IOL. A secondary study goal is to determine if measures of the eye taken prior to surgery can reliably predict postoperative ELP.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effective lens position (ELP) of the study lens, and to report the stability of ELP post-operatively. Additionally, correlations of ELP to predicted postoperative lens position, capsular bag metrics, preoperative biometry and age will be statistically analyzed for determination of ELP prediction via one, or a combination of preoperative variables.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Softec HD IOLDevice

    Posterior chamber intraocular lens intended for the replacement of the human crystalline lens following phacoemulsification cataract removal in adults over the age of 21.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effective Lens Position

    The position of the intraocular lens - defined by measurement of the aqueous-containing space between the corneal endothelium and the anterior surface of the intraocular lens - once implanted in the capsular bag.

    Measured: 6 Months Postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Softec HD IOL in people with Cataract, run by Lenstec Incorporated at 3 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 19 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 18 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Effective Lens Position (time frame: 6 Months Postoperative). 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 18 Mar 2014.
