Trial summary

In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) used in tertiary care ophthalmology centers is performed with two reflectance microscopes attached on a mounting with limited movement along the XYZ axes. Consequently, ocular diseases in the central area have been described (mostly cornea and adjacent conjunctiva). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Innovative Imaging of the Conjunctiva, Cornea, and Ocular Adnexa : Study of a Handheld in Vivo Confocal Microscope and of a Fluorescent in Vivo Confocal Microscope

In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) used in tertiary care ophthalmology centers is performed with two reflectance microscopes attached on a mounting with limited movement along the XYZ axes. Consequently, ocular diseases in the central area have been described (mostly cornea and adjacent conjunctiva). Two dermatology IVCM (an handheld small IVCM and a multifluorescent one) present significant innovations that the investigators want to assess in ophthalmology for the diagnosis of conjunctiva, cornea, eyelid and lachrymal tract diseases. The handheld IVCM have unlimited degrees of freedom and a small diameter objective. It could dramatically increase the area accessible to IVCM (whole conjunctiva, eyelids, proximal lachrymal tract) (part 1 of the present study). The fluorescent IVCM allows the use of a wide range of fluorescent markers liable to increase the specificity of the diagnosis by revealing staining patterns corresponding to a specific disease and not to others (part 2 of the study)

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic performance (sensitivity (se) and specificity (sp)) of the handheld IVCM in ocular surface and adnexa diseases

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. handheld IVCM : sensitivity (se) and specificity (sp) in each 8 subgroups of diseases

    Measured: 1 year

  2. handheld IVCM : positive and negative predictive values in each 8 subgroups of diseases

    Measured: 1 year

  3. handheld IVCM : AUC of the ROC curve in each 8 subgroups of diseases

    Measured: 1 year

  4. handheld IVCM : factors influencing image quality

    using a scale to 3 levels (2 : optic diagnosis ; 1 : presence of artifacts but possible optic diagnosis ; 0 :impossible optic diagnosis)

    Measured: 1 year

  5. handheld IVCM : determining the limits of the tumor

    (in the particular case of tumors requiring surgery)

    Measured: 1 year

  6. fluorescence : staining patterns obtained for each disease group

    Measured: 1 year

  7. fluorescence : characteristics of the micro-angiography

    characteristics of the conjunctival vessels in normal and diabetic patients

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Handheld IVCM Vivascope 3000 (Caliber/Mavig) anesthesic eyedrop : oxybuprocaïne Thea 1,6 mg/0,4 ml, Multifluorescence IVCM vivascope 1500 ML (Caliber/Mavig) and microangiography in people with Corneal Disease and Blepharitis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 2 sites 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 2 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 8 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Diagnostic performance (sensitivity (se) and specificity (sp)) of the handheld IVCM in ocular surface and adnexa diseases (time frame: 1 year). 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 Jan 2024.
