About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Multi-endodiathermy Retinectomy Versus Relaxing Retinectomy for Retinal Re-detachment in Silicone Oil Filled Eye

Previous pilot study has demonstrated that the novel multi-endodiathermy retinectomy is feasible, effective and safe for inferior retinal redetachments in the silicone oil-filled eyes of adults over a 3-month observation.

Here, the investigators conduct this randomized and multicenter clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety between multi-endodiathermy retinectomy and relaxing retinectomy.

Read the detailed description

The relaxing retinectomy is a useful surgery for retinal re-detachment in eyes with silicone oil filled. However, it has some obvious disadvantages such as the cut of the normal retina surrounding, leaving a large area of retinal deficiency and significant exposure of retinal pigment epithelium and choroid membranes.

We proposed a novel multi-endodiathermy retinectomy as a potential surgery. A pilot study has demonstrated that the novel multi-endodiathermy retinectomy is feasible, effective and safe for inferior retinal redetachments in the silicone oil-filled eyes of adults over a 3-month observation.

Here, the investigators conduct this randomized and multicenter clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety between multi-endodiathermy retinectomy and relaxing retinectomy.

What participants receive

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

  • multi-endodiathermy retinectomyProcedure or surgery

    patients will receive multi-endodiathermy retinectomy; 6 months later, patients will receive the removal of intraocular silicone oil.

  • relaxing retinectomyProcedure or surgery

    patients will receive relaxing retinectomy; 6 months later, patients will receive the removal of intraocular silicone oil.

What is being measured

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

  1. retinal reattachment

    Measured: 3 months after retinectomy

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. operative duration

    Measured: from the end of former silicone oil removal to the end of the new silicone oil fill

  2. visual acuity

    Measured: 1 day before surgery; 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months after retinectomy; 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months after silicone oil removal.

  3. intraocular pressure

    Measured: 1 day before surgery; 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months after retinectomy; 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months after silicone oil removal.

  4. the incidence of intraocular hemorrhage

    Measured: during retinectomy

  5. degree of recurrent PVR

    Measured: 1 day before surgery; 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months after retinectomy; 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months after silicone oil removal.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing multi-endodiathermy retinectomy and relaxing retinectomy in people with Retinal Redetachment in Silicone Oil-filled Eyes, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 3 sites 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 Xiaofeng Lin, M.D (020-87331537, linxiaof@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

retinal reattachment (time frame: 3 months after retinectomy). 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 NCT02425085, which also lists 4 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?
