About this study

Official title: Outcomes of Topography-guided LASIK and Photorefractive Keratectomy Compared to Wavefront Optimized LASIK and Photorefractive Keratectomy

This study evaluates the difference in results between eyes that have been treated wavefront optimized laser vision correction (either LASIK or Photorefractive Keratectomy) compared to eyes treated with topography-guided laser vision correction (either LASIK or Photorefractive Keratectomy). Each participant will receive wavefront optimized correction in one eye and topography-guided correction in the other.

Read the detailed description

Participants will have an in depth discussion with our refractive surgery coordinator regarding refractive surgery. Patients will choose LASIK or Photorefractive Keratectomy surgery based on our standard pre-operative discussion that is provided to all patients. As is standard for laser refractive candidates, the advantages and disadvantages of LASIK and Photorefractive Keratectomy compared to the other refractive surgical options will be discussed. Following patient selection of their preferred type of refractive procedure they will be randomized as discussed below, and only patients who elect for LASIK or Photorefractive Keratectomy will be included in our study.

Prior to surgery, one eye from each patient will be randomly assigned to receive either Wavefront optimized or Topography Guided treatment. Each patient in the study will have a fellow eye enrolled in the other treatment group. Patients will either receive LASIK treatment or Photorefractive Keratectomy treatment in both eyes but the eyes will be randomized to topography guided or wavefront optimized forms of treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Uncorrected Visual Acuity From Baseline to Month 12

    Uncorrected visual acuity will be tested pre-operatively through month 12

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Contrast Sensitivity From Baseline to Month 3

    Contrast sensitivity will be tested pre-operatively and 3 months post-operatively

    Measured: 3 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted9 Mar 2017
  2. Study start13 Feb 2017
  3. Primary completion12 Aug 2019
  4. Study completion12 Aug 2019

Why it stopped: Because of the bias in who qualified for the study it became apparent we would not get any statistically valid results.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Wavefront optimized LASIK, Wavefront optimized Photorefractive Keratectomy and Topography-guided LASIK in people with Surgery and Myopia, run by University of Utah 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2023. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jul 2023). 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?

Change in Uncorrected Visual Acuity From Baseline to Month 12 (time frame: 12 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 17 Jul 2023.
