What participants receive

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

  • Topography Guided LASIKProcedure or surgery

    Corneal surgery for refractive error correction

  • Small Incision Lenticular ExtractionProcedure or surgery

    Also called SMILE

    Refractive surgical procedure for the correction of myopia with or without astigmatism

  • WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser SystemDevice

    As used for corneal stroma ablation (refractive error correction). The treatment is intended to last the subject's lifetime.

  • VisuMax Surgical LaserDevice

    As used for lenticule creation/removal (refractive error correction). The treatment is intended to last the subject's lifetime.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Eyes With Manifest Refraction Cylinder Less Than or Equal to 0.5 Diopter (D) at 3 Months

    Manifest refraction cylinder was measured monocularly (each eye separately) at 3 or 4 meters (m) under photopic lighting conditions using a phoropter and Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart. The manifest refraction at 4 m or 3 m was adjusted for optical infinity by adding -0.25 D to the sphere value. Both eyes contributed to the analysis. Since the study was terminated early, inferential statistics could not be completed.

    Measured: Month 3

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Manifest Refraction Cylinder at 3 Months

    Manifest refraction cylinder was measured monocularly at 3 or 4 meters under photopic lighting conditions using a phoropter and ETDRS chart. The manifest refraction at 4 m or 3 m was adjusted for optical infinity by adding -0.25 D to the sphere value. Both eyes contributed to the analysis. Since the study was terminated early, inferential statistics could not be completed.

    Measured: Month 3

  2. Mean Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA) at 3 Months

    Uncorrected (without spectacles or other visual corrective devices) Visual Acuity (UCVA) testing was conducted monocularly in photopic conditions without glare at 3 or 4 meters. Visual Acuity (VA) is measured in "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution" (logMAR). A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity. The Precision Vision illuminator cabinets and ETDRS charts were used. For subjects who could not read English letters, a numerical, Tumbling E logMAR chart was used. Since the study was terminated early, inferential statistics could not be completed.

    Measured: Month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Topography Guided LASIK, Small Incision Lenticular Extraction and WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser System in people with Myopia and Astigmatism, run by Alcon, a Novartis Company at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 14 Jan 2019. 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 France. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Eyes With Manifest Refraction Cylinder Less Than or Equal to 0.5 Diopter (D) at 3 Months (time frame: Month 3). 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 14 Jan 2019.
