About this study

Official title: Choroidal Thickness and Its Correlations With Ocular Parameters in Cases With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide that is a chronic public health problem. Unfortunately, glaucoma can be diagnosed when the disease reaches a certain level in today's conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic methods that can diagnose glaucoma before it reaches the advanced level and to identify pathophysiological processes. In this study, choroidal thickness was investigated in primary open-angle glaucoma cases and its correlations with OCT and multifocal ERG parameters were evaluated.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patients with primary open-angle glaucoma who have recently received a new diagnosis with healthy volunteers with age-matched groups were enrolled. All data from 49 glaucoma patients and 47 healthy volunteers were recorded and the study was completed. The study was carried out at the Afyon Kocatepe University Ophthalmology Department between January 2014 and April 2015. Routine ophthalmologic examinations of all participants were performed. Medical treatment was initiated on patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma. Intraocular pressures and visual acuities of all participants were recorded at baseline, at 1-month, at 3-month, and at 6-month. All participants underwent tests of multifocal electroretinography and the measurements of optic nerve head optical coherence tomography parameters and the choroidal thickness, at the same follow-ups. Visual acuities were measured by using the Snellen chart as the best corrected visual acuity. Intraocular pressures were measured by using applanation tonometry. Choroid thicknesses were also measured and recorded using EDI-OCT mode of optical coherence tomography device (Cirrus HD 4000, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany). Choroidal thicknesses were measured in three regions: fovea, 3mm nasal and temporal distances of the fovea. The mean of these three measurements was recorded as macular choroidal thickness. The same technician performed all multifocal electroretinography tests of the participants (Metrovision Monpack 3, Metrovision, France). Multifocal electroretinography tests were carried out from a distance of 33 cm using ERG-jet electrode, ground electrode, and a reference electrode. Electrical potential responses from 103 retina regions were recorded. Results were compared statistically and correlations were analyzed (SPSS 20.0, SPSS Inc. IL, USA).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Brimonidine Tartrate, Dorzolamide (as Dorzolamide Hydrochloride) 20 Mg/mL and Timolol (as Timolol Maleate) 5 Mg/mL Eye Drops and Brinzolamide/Timolol 10 MG/1 ML-5 MG/1 ML Ophthalmic Suspension in people with Glaucoma, Open-Angle, run by Afyon Kocatepe University Hospital.

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 7 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 29 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Macular choroidal thickness measure (time frame: Baseline, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 May 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
