About this study

Official title: Medico-economic Evaluation of Treatment with Panretinal Photocoagulation in One Session Using Multispot Laser Versus Four Sessions Using Single-spot Laser in Patients with Severe Non-proliferative and Early Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Despite the fact that the efficacy of a single session of multispot laser has been demonstrated in the treatment of patients with diabetic retinopathy as compared with four sessions of single-spot laser, the management of panretinal photocoagulation in the different healthcare establishments in France has remained unchanged notably because there is no specific reimbursement for this new treatment protocol.

Although the benefits of reducing the number of sessions and thus the costs associated with the treatment for the patient and the payer seem to be obvious, the medico-economic impact of modifying the treatment strategy thanks to the technological changes must be evaluated to provide deciders with additional information.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing monospot panretinal photocoagulation and multispot panretinal photocoagulation in people with Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon 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 8 inclusion and 13 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 16 Oct 2024. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The promoter decided to stop the study because the rate of enrolment was slowing down due to centres not adhering to the proposed arm.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

cost of treatment (time frame: 9 months after the start of treatment). 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 16 Oct 2024.
