About this study

Official title: Patching Retinal Breaks With Healaflow in 27G Vitrectomy for the Treatment of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment

To report the surgical results of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repaired by 27G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with Healaflow patch and air tamponade, and do not need prone position postoperation.

Read the detailed description

To improve the success rates of pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) which is the most common surgical procedure for the repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to avoid silicon oil tamponade and face-down position, all eyes enrolled into this clinical trail undergo 27G PPV combined with Healaflow patch and air tamponade which do not need face-down position in the postoperative period. Healaflow® (Anteis S.A., Plan Les Ouates, Switzerland) consists of over 97% water, sodium hyaluronic acid (22.5 mg/ml) of nonanimal origin cross-linked with BDDE (1.4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether), and phosphate- and NaCl-salts to maintain a physiological pH (7.0) and osmolarity (305 mOsm/kg).

At the time of study enrollment, physical examinations, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure(IOP) will be measured and fundoscopy, OCT, B-ultrasound will be performed.

The patients are going to be followed up for at least 3 months, the main outcome measures are postoperative primary and final anatomic outcome, BCVA and complications.

What participants receive

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

  • HealaflowBiological

    For the RRD patients, after 27G PPV, air-liquid exchange and endolaser photocoagulation around the tear(s), Healaflow is going to be fully covered on the surface of all retinal tears using 27G needle, the amount of Healaflow injection was determined according to the size of tears.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Healaflow in people with Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment, run by Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital.

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 0 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 30 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

postoperative anatomic outcome (time frame: baseline to 3 months post-surgery). 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 30 Apr 2019.
