About this study

Official title: Evaluation of LOXL1 Polymorphism in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome in the Korean Population

To evaluate the association profiles of the lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene polymorphisms with pseudoexfoliation syndrome in the Korean population, Genotypes of lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene were analyzed by direct sequencing.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the association profiles of the lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene polymorphisms with pseudoexfoliation syndrome in the Korean population, peripheral blood sampling will be done from the patients with pseudoexfoliation.

And genotypes of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms of lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene , rs1048661, rs3825942, rs2165241 were analyzed by direct sequencing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genotypes of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms of LOXL1 (rs1048661, rs3825942, rs2165241)

    Genotypes of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms of LOXL1 were analyzed by direct sequencing, after obtained from the peripheral blood sampling from patients.

    Measured: about 1 year (when all patients were recruited)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Changwon Kee, M.D., Ph.D. (82-2-3410-3564, ckee@skku.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genotypes of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms of LOXL1 (rs1048661, rs3825942, rs2165241) (time frame: about 1 year (when all patients were recruited)). 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 NCT01515735, which also lists 2 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 24 Jan 2012.
