About this study

Diabetic retinopathy(DR) is one of the most common and serious microvascular complications of diabetes,which is the primary cause of vision loss of diabetic patients. The risk of blindness is 25 times that of healthy people.Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is the gold standard for diagnosing the stage of diabetic retinopathy.However,FFA is an invasive examination which requires the patient to be in good physical condition and is not suitable for large-scale screening.Therefore, it is important to build up an evaluation system for early diagnosis of DR,which is more convenient, safer, and non-invasive.Firstly, this study will retrospectively analyze the FFA images of DR to find the earliest and most frequently occurring fundus quadrant.Secondly,based on the retrospective analysis results, a prospective comparative study will be conducted,which combines the fundus photography with optical coherence tomography angiography(angio-OCT) and physical indicators to find out whether it has consistency, sensitivity and specificity with FFA in diagnosing the stage of DR in order to build up a more effective,safer and faster evaluation system and clinical application for DR.

What is being measured

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

  1. The earliest and most frequently occurring fundus quadrant of diabetic retinopathy in fundus fluorescein angiography.

    The study is to find the earliest and most frequently occurring fundus quadrant of diabetic retinopathy.Based on the the retrospective analysis results, a prospective comparative study will be conducted to build up a evaluation system and clinical application for diabetic retinopathy.We divided the FFA images into nine quadrants: posterior pole, superior, superior nasal, nasal, inferior nasal, inferior, inferior temporal, temporal, and superior temporal. The qualitative analysis of diabetic retinopathy in each quadrant was performed. The earliest and most common fundus quadrant of diabetic retinopathy was then assessed using a rank sum test, t-test, and analysis of variance.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital 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 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 18 May 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 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?

The earliest and most frequently occurring fundus quadrant of diabetic retinopathy in fundus fluorescein angiography. (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT03528720, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2018.
