Trial summary

Anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy results from infarction of retrolaminar portion of the optic nerve head, caused by occlusion of the posterior ciliary artery. Non arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy affects more frequently people between 50 and 70 years of age, with vasculopathic risk factors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Peripapillary Vasculature With OCT-angiography in Arteritic and Non Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Neuropathy After Oedema Disappearance

Anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy results from infarction of retrolaminar portion of the optic nerve head, caused by occlusion of the posterior ciliary artery. Non arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy affects more frequently people between 50 and 70 years of age, with vasculopathic risk factors. Arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy is caused by the Horton disease, affects an older population and is an ophthalmologic emergency because of the bilateralisation's risk.

The aim of this study is to compare the peripapillar vascular density of anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy eyes (arteritic and non arteritic) with normal eyes after the disappearance of the papillar edema, with oCT-angiography.

Read more

The investigators will include patients with anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy and normal patients. For each participant, the investigators will estimate the best visual acuity, intra-ocular pressure, make a fondus, measurement of retinal nervous layer thickness, ganglionar cells layer thickness, and a macular and papillar OCT angiography during a consultation (duration 30 min).

The investigators will be able to know if

  • there is a modification of the peripapillary vascularisation subsequent to the occlusion of the posterior ciliary artery
  • there is a difference between arteritic and non arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy,
  • there is a repercussion of the neuropathy on the retinal layers,
  • there is a difference in peripapillar vascularisation by age.

What is being measured

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

  1. compare peripapillary vascular density in eyes with anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy and in normal eyes with OCT angiography

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Compare Peripapillary and Macular Mirovascular Differences in Arteritic and Non-Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy Patients

    Measurement of microvascularisation density and its abnormalities (dilatation, defect) on peripapillary angio-OCT images in group with an arteritic optic neuropathy compared to patients with non-arteritic optic neuropathy

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. compare the microvascular density of the 2 optic discs in the same patient : with optic neuropathy and the healthy disc

    Measurement of peripapillary microvascular density in the eye with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and healthy contralateral eye in the same patient

    Measured: 10 minutes

  4. compare the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fibers and the thickness of the ganglionar complex layer in patients with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and control group

    Measurement of retinal nerve fiber thickness (RNFL), and thickness of ganglionic complex layer (GCC) with OCT in 2 groups

    Measured: 5 minutes

  5. Compare peripapillary and macular microvascular density by age and by sex

    Measurement of macular and peripapillary microvascular density on angio-OCT images for comparison between different age groups

    Measured: 10 minutes

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 Jul 2019. 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 France. 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 peripapillary vascular density in eyes with anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy and in normal eyes with OCT angiography (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 NCT03642899, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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 Jul 2019.
