About this study

The study aims to compare the differences of ocular surface features in controls and patients with diabetes and dry eye syndrome, to thoroughly evaluate the ocular surface health of diabetics, and to find out the relationship between dry eye syndrome and diabetes

Read the detailed description

In this study, we perform a completely comparison of ocular surface characteristic including the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire,tearfilm break up time(BUT),corneal fluorescein scores(CFS),Shirmer test,corneal sensitivity)among diabetic patients with DE, diabetic patients without DE, non-diabetic patients with DE and normal subjects and analysis of EGF, IL-17A, IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α in tears and their clinical correlations are also performed to investigate potential biomarkers for diagnosis of diabetic with DE.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tear cytokines levels

    Comparision the tear cytokines (EGF, IL-17A, IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α)levels in different groups using using a Milliplex Map Kit (Human Th17 Magnetic Bead Panel, Millipore, Billerica, MA).

    Measured: through study completion,an average of two weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical correlations of the tear cytokines

    Analysis of tear cytokines and clinical correlations by Spearman correlation coefficient

    Measured: through study completion,an average of two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dry Eye Syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Peking University Third 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 3 May 2022. 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?

Tear cytokines levels (time frame: through study completion,an average of two weeks). 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 3 May 2022.
