About this study

Official title: Development of Artificial Intelligence-assissted Diagnostic Program of Glaucoma

Glaucoma is currently the second leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Our study intends to combine clinical data of glaucoma patients in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center with Artificial Intelligence techniques to create programs that can screen and diagnose glaucoma.

Read the detailed description

Glaucoma is currently the second leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world, which brings heavy burden to human society. Compared to other ocular diseases, diagnostic process of glaucoma is complicated depends on multiple test results, including visual field test, OCT, etc. How to diagnose glaucoma correctly and fast has always been a hot topic in glaucoma researches. Artificial intelligence is used to study and develop theories and methods that can help simulate and extend human intelligence, which has been utilized in a lot of research fields such as automatic drive and medicine. The study intends to combine clinical data of glaucoma patients in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center with Artificial Intelligence techniques to create programs that can screen and diagnose glaucoma.

What participants receive

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

  • Visual field and OCT testsDiagnostic test

    Visual field test and OCT are commonly used essential tests to make accurate diagnosis of glaucoma. Algorithms to classify Visual field and OCT tests would both be developed and verified.

Study groups in NCT03268031
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Glaucoma patientsGlaucoma patients will take visual field test and OCT imaging of optic nerve area. All of these data will be collected as source of machine learning.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Visual field and OCT tests
Non-glaucoma participantsNon-glaucoma participants will take visual field test and OCT imaging of optic nerve area. All of these data will be collected as source of machine learning.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Visual field and OCT tests

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Artificial Intelligence and Glaucoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 22 Oct 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 China. 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?

Accuracy of diagnosis by artificial intelligence algorithm (time frame: from August 2017 to February 2021). 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 NCT03268031, which also lists 3 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 22 Oct 2020.
