About this study

Official title: GALILEI G6 Lens Professional vs. a Predicate Device: a Comparison Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG GALILEI G6 Lens Professional to the Oculus Pentacam® AXL for taking images and measurements of the anterior segment of the eye, including the cornea, pupil, anterior chamber and lens, to assist in determining the power of the intraocular lens for implantation.

Read the detailed description

A corneal topographer/biometer named GALILEI G6 Lens Professional was developed by Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG for the measurement of anterior segment geometry and axial intraocular distances. The measurement principle of the corneal topographer corresponds to that of the commercially available Galilei G4 Dual Scheimpflug Analyzer, whereas the measurement principle of the biometer is based on low coherence interferometry/reflectometry, which has been widely used and applied clinically by a number of predicate devices.

One complete measurement consists of a corneal topography/ tomography scan followed by three consecutive, axial biometry scans of the anterior segment (cornea and crystalline lens) and three consecutive, axial biometry scans of the retina. The measurement process is continuous but divided into three alignment-click-steps.

Such measurements can be applied to given Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) types and IOL equations, to permit the calculation of recommended IOLs to be implanted during cataract surgery in order to achieve the desired vision correction.

The primary objectives of this clinical study are to: 1) evaluate the inter-device repeatability, inter-operator repeatability and reproducibility of the GALILEI G6 Lens Professional in repeated measurements of anterior segment geometry and axial intraocular distances and, 2) demonstrate substantial equivalence through examining agreement of the GALILEI measurements to those of the predicate device, the Pentacam® AXL.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GALILEI G6 Lens Professional and Oculus Pentacam AXL in people with Cataract, run by Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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 26 Sep 2018. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Axial Length (AL) Measurement in millimeters (mm) (time frame: One day). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Sep 2018.
