About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing the Effects of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and Travoprost on the Circadian Intraocular Pressure Variation

The investigators conduct this study to access the effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty on 24-hour circadian tension curves of patients with open-angle glaucoma, normal tension glaucoma and ocular hypertension. This treatment effect is compared with that of the prostaglandin analogue, travoprost.

Read the detailed description

Selective laser trabeculoplasty is an effective treatment for lowering intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Clinical evaluations of its effectiveness in individual patients usually are derived from baseline and post-laser measurements of intraocular pressure during office hours in the sitting position. Only a few studies have examined the efficacy of laser trabeculoplasty beyond office hours. Although the 24-hour effect of laser trabeculoplasty has been studied ,the study was conducted before the use of these new and more potent intraocular pressure lowering drugs. So it doesn't have any study to determine the effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty and travoprost to reduce the diurnal and nocturnal variation of Iintraocular pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of circadian intraocular pressure

    intraocular pressure values measured during daytime and nighttime, compare between selective laser trabeculoplasty and travoprost (include pre- and post-treatment intraocular pressure values)

    Measured: Six weeks after recieving treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Position related intraocular pressure

    Intraocular pressure different when measuring in the sitting and supine position (include pre- and post-treatment intraocular pressure values

    Measured: Six weeks after the treatments

  2. Ocular surface disease

    Using the glaucoma symptom scale-10 (GSS-10) and ocular surface disease questionnaire for evaluation

    Measured: Six weeks after the treatments

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Selective laser trabeculoplasty and Travoprost in people with Intraocular Pressure, run by Prince of Songkla University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 inclusion and 31 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 8 Aug 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 Thailand. 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?

Change of circadian intraocular pressure (time frame: Six weeks after recieving treatment). 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 8 Aug 2016.
