About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Different Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) Mobile Devices for Visual Field Assessment

This is a single center, prospective study to evaluate the efficacy and reproducibility of frequency doubling technology (FDT)-based visual field devices compared to conventional Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) perimetry. The investigators plan to enroll 500 patients in this study.

Read the detailed description

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible and preventable blindness world-wide. Insufficient evidence exists to support routine screening for glaucoma in a primary care setting due to the relatively low prevalence of the disease (Guirguis-Blake, 2005 and Moyer, 2013). Frequency doubling technology (FDT)-based perimetry is a relatively inexpensive and portable visual field testing device with a short testing time that has shown reasonable efficacy, sensitivity and specificity in screening for glaucoma in clinic- and community-based settings (Mansberger, 2005 and Nomoto 2009).

The aim of our study is to compare the efficacy and reproducibility of FDT perimetry platforms compared with Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) perimetry (which is the gold clinical standard in clinics and hospitals) in detecting glaucomatous visual field defects.

Receives: Device: FDT visual field; Device: Standard HVF

What is being measured

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

  1. Pattern of visual field loss in FDT visual fields as compared with standard HVF

    Visual Field

    Measured: The investigators anticipate to enroll the subjects over a period of 12 months. The estimated time required for data analysis is 6 months following enrollment of all subjects.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean deviation (MD) in FDT visual fields as compared with standard HVF

    Visual Field

    Measured: The investigators anticipate to enroll the subjects over a period of 12 months. The estimated time required for data analysis is 6 months following enrollment of all subjects.

  2. Pattern standard deviation (PSD) in FDT visual fields as compared with standard HVF

    Visual Field

    Measured: The investigators anticipate to enroll the subjects over a period of 12 months. The estimated time required for data analysis is 6 months following enrollment of all subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FDT visual field and Standard HVF in people with Glaucoma, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 30 Oct 2020. 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 United States. 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 Richard K Lee, MD, PhD (305-326-6000, rlee@med.miami.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pattern of visual field loss in FDT visual fields as compared with standard HVF (time frame: The investigators anticipate to enroll the subjects over a period of 12 months. The estimated time required for data analysis is 6 months following enrollment of all subjects.). 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 NCT02862158, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Oct 2020.
