Trial summary

Fundus imaging has become an integral tool in retinal diagnosis. Although single-field fundus photography covers a vital region of the retina, it leaves a large portion of the periphery undiscovered. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Two Wide-field Imaging Systems on the Extent of Retinal Periphery Area Viewing

Fundus imaging has become an integral tool in retinal diagnosis. Although single-field fundus photography covers a vital region of the retina, it leaves a large portion of the periphery undiscovered.

Ultra-wide-field imaging systems allowed for visualization of peripheral perfusion abnormalities in myopic eyes that were previously unknown.

In Austria, there are two different wide-field imaging systems available. The first device on the market was the Optos (Optos PLC, Dunfermline, UK) and several years later the Clarus 500 (Carl Zeiss, Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) was introduced.

Read the detailed description

While both of the studied imaging systems have the possibility of a 200° view of the retina, we would asses if the differences between the two devices affect the extent of retinal periphery view and if ocular ametropies which come with different retinal pathologies would affect the retinal periphery assessment.

Aim: To compare two CE-marked imaging systems concerning the extent of retinal periphery area viewing.

We would like to perform a prospective observational study that would include patients divided into three groups: myopic patients, hyperopic and emmetropic patients.

Fundus photography will be performed using two ultra-wide-field imaging systems (Optos, Daytona, Optos PLC, Dunfermline, UK and Clarus, 500 Carl Zeiss, Meditec AG, Jena, Germany), performed by the same investigator.

All images with sufficient quality will be exported and saved to hard-disk. The difference in periphery view will be investigated as follows: two retinal photos for each patient will be imported into Photoshop CS6 image-editing system (Adobe, version 13.0.0) where the anatomical landmarks will be matched for each image and the borders will be compared to see if there are differences in retinal periphery area viewing between the two devices.

What is being measured

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

  1. difference in retinal periphery viewing between the two devices

    Extent of retinal periphery area viewing (the difference in periphery area between the two devices). Images of the same patients will be compared to determine the degree of periphery viewing for the two devices.

    Measured: 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing extent of retinal area viewing Optos, Daytona, Optos PLC, Dunfermline, UK and extent of retinal area viewing Clarus, 500 Carl Zeiss, Meditec AG, Jena, Germany in people with Retinal Disease, run by Prim. Prof. Dr. Oliver Findl, MBA at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 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 6 Oct 2020. 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 Austria. 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 Oliver Findl, Prof. (+43 1 91021-84611, oliver@findl.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

difference in retinal periphery viewing between the two devices (time frame: 7 months). 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 6 Oct 2020.
