Trial summary

HIV patients may suffer sooner from aging than average population, including brain aging. Our hypothesis is that if brain dysfunctions are explained by a quicker loss of neurons in HIV patients, this loss could be detected earlier by a thinning down of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), compared to non HIV patients of… Read more about this study

About this study

HIV patients may suffer sooner from aging than average population, including brain aging. Our hypothesis is that if brain dysfunctions are explained by a quicker loss of neurons in HIV patients, this loss could be detected earlier by a thinning down of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), compared to non HIV patients of the same age.

Read the detailed description

The investigators aim to compare the thickness of the RNFL and the thickness of the RCGs measured by spectral domain OCT between patients infected by HIV and patients of same age non infected by HIV.

Being tested
ophthalmologic examination and MRI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Seropositivity, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 15 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 21 Oct 2016. 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 France. 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?

thickness of the RNFL and the RCGs measured by spectral domain OCT, between the two groups of patients (time frame: one day of examinations). 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 NCT02003989, 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 21 Oct 2016.
