About this study

Official title: Comparison of Intraoperative Performance and Incision Morphology Using Three Injector Devices : Randomized, Clinical Trial

This randomized clinical trial compares subjective performance during Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, as well as incision enlargement and anterior segment morphology on OCT when IOL implantation was performed during microcoaxial phacoemulsification through a 2.2mm incision using one of three injectors :

Manual screw type (Monarch III), Manual plunger type (Royale) and motorised injector (Autosert). Further, the investigators also looked at incision integrity by comparing ingress of trypan blue from the ocular surface into the anterior chamber.

Read the detailed description

In this randomized, clinical trial, three types of injectors were compared :

  1. Manual, screw type injector (Monarch III)
  2. Manual, plunger type injector (Royale, ASICO)
  3. Motorized injector (Autosert, Alcon)

Having performed a phacoemulsification through 2.2mm incision, IOL implantation was performed using a D cartridge and one of three injectors which was decided in a randomized fashion.

The investigators evaluated incision enlargement at following points : at the end of phacoemulsification, and then, at the end of IOL implantation The investigators also looked at trypan blue ingress into the anterior chamber from the ocular surface. At 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after surgery anterior segment OCT morphology was also studied.

further, the surgeon was asked to subjectively grade the ease of implantation with each injector

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intraocular lens implantation, Autosert Injector and Royale Injector in people with Cataract, run by Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Center.

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 9 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 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Incision enlargement in mm (time frame: 1 minute after surgery). 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 9 Jun 2015.
