About this study

Official title: Study to Investigate Reproducibility of the New Heidelberg Spectralis SD-OCT Glaucoma Module Premium Edition (Software Version 6.0) in Comparison to Reproducibility of RNFL Scans.

The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the repeatability of SD-OCT (Spectralis™ OCT, Version 6.0, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) RNFL thickness measurements with a new software (glaucoma premium module) with the well established peripapillary RNFL thickness measurements in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the repeatability of SD-OCT (Spectralis™ OCT, Version 6.0, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) RNFL thickness measurements with the new software (method B) and with the previous method of measurement (method A) in patients with glaucoma.

It is a prospective, not blinded, not randomised, monocentric study. Inclusion of 50 patients with a diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), that will be recruited from the ophthalmology outpatient department of the UniversityHospital Zurich, Switzerland. All patients will undergo a full ophthalmic examination including measurement of refraction, best corrected visual acuity, examination of anterior and posterior compartment and measurement of the intraocular pressure. On the same day they will have 3 OCT examinations with a new method of measurement (method B).On the same day the first 10 patients will undergo also 3 OCT examinations with the previous method (method A) and they will get an other 3 OCT examinations with method B by a second observer. For this 10 patients the next consultation (3 months +/- 1 month) the 3 OCT examinations with method B will be repeated by the first observer.

Primary objectives are coefficient of variations (COV) of method A and B; Intra-class-correlations (ICC) of method A and B.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RNFL and BMO-MRW SD-OCT in people with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 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 25 Mar 2020. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) (time frame: baseline and 3 months +/- 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Mar 2020.
