About this study

Official title: Safety of Trypan Blue Capsule Staining to Corneal Endothelium in Patients With Diabetic Retinopathy

This study examines the use of Trypan Blue staining of the corneal endothelium in patients undergoing phacoemulsification. It is a single-center prospective, randomized individual cohort study. One eye in each patient with diabetic retinopathy will undergo phacoemulsification without Trypan Blue capsule staining (control eye) while the other eye will undergo phacoemulsification with Trypan Blue capsule staining (study eye). Both eyes will undergo intraocular lens implantation. Preoperative and four-week postoperative quantitative and qualitative morphometric endothelial cell analyses of the cornea will be performed using noncontact specular microscopy.

Being tested
Phacoemulsification with and without Trypan Blue capsule staining

What participants receive

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

  • Phacoemulsification with and without Trypan Blue capsule stainingProcedure or surgery

    Phacoemulsification for patients with diabetic retinopathy having cataract in both eyes. One eye underwent phacoemulsification with trypan blue capsule staining and the other eye underwent phacoemulsification without trypan blue.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Phacoemulsification with and without Trypan Blue capsule staining in people with Cataract Diabetic, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 11 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 28 Nov 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 Egypt. 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?

Endothelial cell density (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT03755752, 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 28 Nov 2018.
