About this study

Official title: Comparison of Ganglion Cell and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Normal Tension Glaucoma With Spectral Domain OCT

The aim of this study is to examine whether there is a difference in macular ganglion cell complex thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in early-stage Primary open angle glaucoma and normal tension glaucoma with spectral domain OCT.

Read the detailed description

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by gradual degeneration of neuronal tissue in which retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are injured, leading to the loss of the visual field.Recent studies have separately demonstrated a reduction in the macular retinal thickness and in the retinal nerve fibers in both POAG and NTG.It has been demonstrated that in early stage NTG macular GCC thickness showed a strong correlation with thickness of the RNFL. However there have yet to be any reports regarding the comparison of macular thickness, ganglion cell complex and retinal nerve fiber layer between POAG and NTG with RS-3000 RetinaScan at early stage.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RS-3000 OCT measurements in people with GLAUCOMA 1, OPEN ANGLE, D (Disorder), run by Inonu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 12 inclusion and 2 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 5 Jun 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Ganglion cell complex, retinal nerve fiber layer and retinal thickness measurements of glaucoma patients using spectral domain OCT. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01612416, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jun 2012.
