About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of Intraocular Pressure Reduction Following Phacoemulsification and Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Prospective randomized trial in patients requiring cataract surgery in which IOP, angle anatomy and other demographic and clinical data are compared. Subjects randomized to both MSICS and phakoemulsification

Read the detailed description

Prospective, randomized, double masked, parallel assignment clincal trial. Five hundred eyes of 500 participants between 40 - 70 years with normal IOP, gonioscopically open angles and age related cataract. Eyes underwent phacoemulsification or MSICS following a 1:1 randomization and allocation code. Best corrected vision (BCVA), IOP, comprehensive slit lamp evaluation and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) were performed at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months follow up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing cataract surgery in people with Cataract and Glaucoma, run by Robin, Alan L., M.D..

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 0 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 7 Jan 2016. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Intraocular pressure lowering (time frame: 6 months). 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 7 Jan 2016.
