What participants receive

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

  • KOWA OCT Bi-µDevice

    Non-contact, ultra-high resolution ophthalmic imaging system for fundus imaging and axial cross-sectional and three-dimensional imaging of retinal structures.

  • Optovue iVue 100Device

    U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared and commercially available Optovue iVue 100

Study groups in NCT03505567
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Random Sequenced InterventionsOtherParticipants from three condition groups (normal, glaucoma, retinal disease) assigned two interventions (Kowa OCT Bi-μ and the Optovue iVue 100) under random sequence assignments.
Receives: Device: KOWA OCT Bi-µ; Device: Optovue iVue 100

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare KOWA OCT Bi-μ and Optovue iVue 100

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing KOWA OCT Bi-µ and Optovue iVue 100 in people with Glaucoma and Retinal Disease, run by Kowa Research Institute, Inc. 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 13 inclusion and 15 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 10 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 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?

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?

Compare KOWA OCT Bi-μ and Optovue iVue 100 (time frame: 1-2 days). 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 10 Sep 2018.
