About this study

Official title: Appropriate Capsulorhexis Size Results in Better Capsular Outcome When Treating Pediatric Cataract: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Different capsulorhexis size results in different capsular outcome when treating pediatric cataract, and there should be an appropriate capsulorhexis size for the best capsular outcome.

Read the detailed description

Numerous studies have reported that ideal anterior capsulorhexis size is 4.5-5.0 mm with the capsulorhexis edges covering IOL optic surface because it can inhibit the proliferation and migration of remnant lens epithelial cells (LEC). But there are no reports investigating the relationship between the capsulorhexis size and the capsular outcome after pediatric cataract surgery. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to prospective evaluate the capsular outcomes of three controlled groups receiving different anterior capsulorhexis sizes (3.0-3.9, 4.0-5.0, 5.1-6.0 mm in diameter).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • anterior capsulorhexis sizesProcedure or surgery

    Pediatric cataract surgery performed with different anterior capsulorhexis sizes (3.0~3.9, 4.0~5.0, 5.1~6.0 mm in diameter)

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean area of anterior/posterior capsulorhexis opening

    Measured: two years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. the ratio of opacity accounting for posterior capsulorhexis opening at different visits

    Measured: two years

  2. The area change of anterior/posterior capsulorhexis opening

    Measured: two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing anterior capsulorhexis sizes in people with Congenital Cataract, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 9 Jun 2014. 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 China. 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?

Mean area of anterior/posterior capsulorhexis opening (time frame: two years). 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 NCT02158325, which also lists 3 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 9 Jun 2014.
