About this study

Official title: Changes of Retinal Oxygen Saturation in Patients With Graves' Ophthalmopathy Under Different Managing Conditions and in Normal People

Find if the retinal function is affected in both the nonsevere and the severe stage of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) by comparing the retinal oxygen saturation of GO patients with that of normal people.

Read the detailed description

Graves'ophthalmopathy (GO), also called thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, is often mild and self-limiting, and probably declining in frequency, with only 3-5% of cases posing a threat to eyesight, remaining a pathogenetic enigma and a therapeutic dilemma. In its nonsevere expression, the symptoms and signs include Photophobia, Foreign body sensation, Eyelid retraction, increased intraocular pressure, Lagophthalmos, and Mild diplopia. In its severe expression, it is a disfiguring and invalidating disease with the optic nerve damaged. However, in this study, we want to find if the retinal vessels is affected in the early stage of the disease through observing the oxygen saturation of the retinal vessels and compare it with that of the normal people.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Graves' Ophthalmopathy, 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 6 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Danping Huang (+8613501508328, hdanp@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes of retinal oxygen saturation in patients with GO under different managing conditions (time frame: before surgery ( or glucocorticoids administration), 1 week and 4 weeks after surgery ( or glucocorticoids administration)). 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 NCT02290704, 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 28 Nov 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
