About this study

Official title: Natural History of Myopic Optic Neuropathy for High Myopia in Chinese Adult Population: a Registry Cohort Study

This study intends to establish a registry cohort to enroll patients with high myopia to study the natural course of myopic optic neuropathy in Chinese adult population.

Read the detailed description

Global prevalence of high myopia brings about markedly increasing of blinding complications as myopic optic neuropathy (MON) and glaucoma. It was estimated that there were 163 million people who have high myopia in 2000, and the population with high myopia would increase to almost one billion (9.8% of the world population) worldwide by 2050.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide while it is difficult to distinguish glaucoma among MON in high myopia eyes. However, there lack longitudinal study to illustrate the natural course interpreting the distribution and natural history of MON.

In view of the above problems, this is a longitudinal registry cohort study to observe the long-term changes of structural and functional parameters of MON in high myopia, and to investigate the natural course and associted risk factors that influence the progression in a Chinese adult population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Eye Diseases, 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 6 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Progression of glaucoma within 36 months (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT04302220, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Dec 2024.
