About this study

Official title: PROGRESS - Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy. Identification of Signs and Surrogate Outcomes

Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy. Identification of Signs and Surrogate outcomes (PROGRESS)

Read the detailed description

The global aim of this study is to improve the current knowledge of diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression. We aim to characterize both functionally and morphologically initial DR stages and to identify patients at risk of progression to centre involving macular oedema (CME) and/or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). We want to identify imaging patterns and characteristics that might be used as prognostic biomarkers for DR progression.

For this, ischemia and blood-retinal barrier alteration will be assessed using non-invasive retinal imaging methodologies. SD-OCT with layer-by-layer segmentation will be performed. Furthermore, a state-of-the-art methodology with OCT-Angiography will be used for identification of areas of capillary drop-out and leakage areas will be identified on SD-OCT without the need of a dye injection. In a subgroup of patients we will study neurodegeneration patterns using multifocal ERG examination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phenotypic classification of DR in a 5-year period

    Presence CME (Central Macular Edema) or PDR (Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy)

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. DR severity level

    ETDRS grading

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Retinal thickness analysis

    Retinal thickness (RT) in central subfield, inner and outer rings, assessed by SD-OCT and using layer-by-layer segmentation

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Ellipsoid zone analysis

    Degree of integrity of the ellipsoid zone, assessed by SD-OCT

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Choroidal thickness analysis

    Choroidal thickness assessed by Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI) SD-OCT

    Measured: 5 years

  5. SD- OCT- Angiography analysis

    Vessel analysis, assessed by SD-OCT OCT-Angiography

    Measured: 5 years

  6. OCT-Leakage analysis

    LOR (low optical reflectivity) ratio in central subfield, inner and outer ring for assessment of BRB breakdown, assessed by OCT-Leakage

    Measured: 5 years

  7. Retinal thickness quantification

    Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) and ganglion cells layer (GCL) + inner plexiform layer thickness (IPL) thickness, assessed by layer-by-layer SD-OCT

    Measured: 5 years

  8. mfERG assessement

    P1 implicit time and P1 amplitude by ring

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Association for Innovation and Biomedical Research on Light and Image at 1 site in Portugal.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 24 Mar 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 Portugal. 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 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?

Phenotypic classification of DR in a 5-year period (time frame: 5 years). 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 NCT03010397, which also lists 2 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 24 Mar 2020.
