About this study

Official title: Functional and Morphological Results of macula-on and Macula-off Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Treated With Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Sulfur Hexafluoride Gas Tamponade

To examine morphological and functional results after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with SF6 gas tamponade due to macula-on and macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) during six months of the follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Background:

To examine morphological and functional results after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with SF6 gas tamponade due to macula-on and macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) during six months of the follow-up.

Methods:

The study included 62 eyes that underwent successful PPV with SF6 tamponade with macula-on (34 eyes) and macula-off (28 eyes) RRD preoperatively. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Amsler test, M-charts, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microperimetry were performed at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.

Being tested
Microperimetry, M-charts

What participants receive

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

  • MicroperimetryDiagnostic test

    Microperimetry is a procedure to assess retinal sensitivity while fundus is directly examined; it enables exact correlation between macular pathology and corresponding functional abnormality.

  • M-chartsDiagnostic test

    The M-chart (Inami Co., Tokyo, Japan) is a diagnostic tool developed by Matsumoto to quantify the degree of metamorphopsia in patients with macular diseases.

What is being measured

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

  1. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA)

    Acuity is a measure of visual performance. The eye exam seeks to find the prescription that will provide the best corrected visual performance achievable.

    Measured: 1 to 6 months

  2. Amsler test

    The standard Amsler test performs with black lines on the white background. The Amsler grid has been used so far for the qualitative assessment of the metamorphopsia since 1947.

    Measured: 1 to 6 months

  3. M-charts

    The M-charts consist of 19 dashed lines with increasing distance between points in the range of 0.2 ° to 2.0 ° viewing angle. Matsumoto developed M-charts for quantitative metamorphopsia evaluation in macula diseases in 1990. M-charts provide more information than Amsler chart in regard to the horizontal and vertical lines.

    Measured: 1 to 6 months

  4. Central retinal thickness

    Quantitative thickness measurements derived from the "fast macular scan" algorithm report retinal thickness at several locations including the center point, central subfield, and 4 inner and 4 outer zones of the macula.

    Measured: 1 to 6 months

  5. Microperimetry

    Microperimetry is a procedure to assess retinal sensitivity while fundus is directly examined; it enables exact correlation between macular pathology and corresponding functional abnormality.

    Measured: 1 to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinal Detachment and Vitrectomy, run by Medical University of Lublin at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 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 4 Apr 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 Poland. 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 best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (time frame: 1 to 6 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03902795, 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 4 Apr 2019.
