About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effect of Minimal Invasive Lens Surgery and Traditional Cataract Surgery for Treating Congenital Cataracts

Previously, the investigators have developed a minimal invasive lens surgery in the purpose of reduce post-operative complications of congenital cataract. This prospective, randomized controlled study aims at comparing the prognosis of the minimal invasive lens surgery and the traditional cataract surgery for treating congenital cataracts.

Read the detailed description

Patients with congenital cataract that requires surgical intervention are enrolled.

Then the participants are assigned to two groups: Group I: the participants receive a minimal invasive lens surgery, while in Group II, the participants receive a traditional cataract surgery. A secondary intraocular lens implantation is performed when the patient is two years old for both Group I and Group II. Investigators then compare the visual acuity, incidence of high intraocular pressure, incidence of visual axis opacification, uveitis and iris/pupil abnormality between two groups, to evaluate and compare the prognosis of minimal invasive lens surgery and traditional cataract surgery for treating congenital cataracts.

Being tested
traditional cataract surgery, minimal invasive lens surgery
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • traditional cataract surgeryProcedure or surgery

    ACCC+ I/A + PCCC + Anti-vit: anterior continuous capsulorhexis + irrigation/aspiration + posterior capsulorhexis + anterior vitrectomy

  • minimal invasive lens surgeryProcedure or surgery

    We decreased the size of the capsulorhexis opening to 1.0-1.5 mm in diameter. Then we moved the location of the capsulorhexis to the peripheral area of the lens instead of the central area. A 0.9 mm phacoemulsification probe was used to remove the lens contents and/or cortical opacities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Best corrected visual acuity

    Determined with the Teller's acuity card, the Lea symbol visual acuity chart or the ETDRS chart according the patient's age.

    Measured: up to five years of age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing traditional cataract surgery and minimal invasive lens surgery in people with Congenital Cataract, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jing Li, M.D (+86-20-87330341, Reviewborad_SYsU@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Best corrected visual acuity (time frame: up to five years of age). 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 27 Apr 2022.
