About this study

Official title: A Population-based Study of Macular Choroidal Neovascularization Using Optical Coherence Tomography in a Chinese Population

To investigate pathomorphological and functional variations of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a Chinese population using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to find which kinds of Fundus characteristics indicated exudative AMD.

Read the detailed description

This population-based study enrolled 59 patients (>45 years old; 70 eyes) with early and intermediate-stage AMD from Youyi Street, Baoshan District, Shanghai, China. Comprehensive standardized ophthalmic examinations included visual acuity, anterior segment analysis by slit lamp, dilated fundus evaluation by direct ophthalmoscopy, 90D handheld lens, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FFA), and fast optic disk scans using OCT. The macular CNV characteristic profiles in early and intermediate-stage AMD were determined by OCT. Data were obtained at first visit and 6 to 24 months follow-up, and FFA and OCT outcomes of early and intermediate-stage AMD patients were analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. change of the early and intermediate-stage AMD

    Drusen with unclear boundaries and obvious pigment proliferation, with hypofluorescence around drusens seen on FFA and a slight small arch field located in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choriocapillary layer (CCL) on OCT indicated exudative AMD.

    Measured: May 2004-September 2008

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Geographic Atrophy and Wet Macular Degeneration, run by Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine at 1 site in China.

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.

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?

change of the early and intermediate-stage AMD (time frame: May 2004-September 2008). 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 16 Aug 2012.
