About this study

Official title: The Use of the PCI Wide Field Imaging System for Pediatric Ophthalmic Photography of the Posterior and Peripheral Retina

What participants receive

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

  • Examination under anaesthetic (EUA)Procedure or surgery

    The EUA is scheduled as part of the routine clinical management of children with various ophthalmic conditions.

  • RetCamDevice

    The RetCam is a pediatric wide-field retinal camera that has been the mainstay for pediatric ophthalmic imaging since 1997. Imaging using the RetCam (during the EUA) is conducted as part of routine clinical magagement.

  • COSMOSDevice

    The COSMOS images will be captured (during the EUA) after the RetCam images. The COSMOS is designed to be used in the same way as the RetCam, but to produce higher quality images.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the field of view in RetCam and COSMOS images

    Masked investigators will review images from the RetCam and the COSMOS. Field of view will be graded on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We will test for significant difference, at alpha level 0.05, between scores of the images taken by the RetCam and the COSMOS.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Comparison of the color in RetCam and COSMOS images

    Masked investigators will review images from the RetCam and the COSMOS. Color will be graded on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We will test for significant difference, at alpha level 0.05, between scores of the images taken by the RetCam and the COSMOS.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Comparison of the dynamic range in RetCam and COSMOS images

    Masked investigators will review images from the RetCam and the COSMOS. Dynamic range will be graded on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We will test for significant difference, at alpha level 0.05, between scores of the images taken by the RetCam and the COSMOS.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Comparison of the sharpness in RetCam and COSMOS images

    Masked investigators will compare images from the RetCam and the COSMOS and grade sharpness on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We will test for significant difference, at alpha level 0.05, between scores of the images taken by the RetCam and the COSMOS.

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Comparison of the detail in RetCam and COSMOS images

    Masked investigators will review images from the RetCam and the COSMOS. Detail will be graded on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We will test for significant difference, at alpha level 0.05, between scores of the images taken by the RetCam and the COSMOS.

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Comparison of the resolution in RetCam and COSMOS images

    Masked investigators will review images from the RetCam and the COSMOS. Resolution will be graded on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We will test for significant difference, at alpha level 0.05, between scores of the images taken by the RetCam and the COSMOS.

    Measured: 1 day

  7. Comparison of the evenness of illumination in RetCam and COSMOS images

    Masked investigators will review images from the RetCam and the COSMOS. Evenness of illumination will be graded on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We will test for significant difference, at alpha level 0.05, between scores of the images taken by the RetCam and the COSMOS.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Examination under anaesthetic (EUA), RetCam and COSMOS in people with Retinoblastoma, run by Brenda Gallie at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2018. 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 Canada. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Proposed comparison (RetCam vs. COSMOS) was unfeasible. Device is now licensed in Canada.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Comparison of the field of view in RetCam and COSMOS images (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 7 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 12 Feb 2018.
