Read the detailed description

From July 2015 to December 2015, clinical record of 8 consecutive cases of macular hole with retinal detachment in high myopia treated with combined inverted and free ILM flap insertion into the hole were retrospectively reviewed. The anatomical and function outcomes were assessed. Patients with a history of trauma or concurrent peripheral breaks were excluded. The anatomical and function outcomes, including the status of the macular hole and retina were assessed.The study was approved by the ethnic committee and research board.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inverted and free ILM insertion in people with High Myopia and Macular Holes, run by National Taiwan University Hospital.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Closure of macular hole (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT03174639, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
