About this study

Official title: A Longitudinal Study of Choroidal Changes Assessed With Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography After Cataract Surgery in Eyes With Diabetic Retinopathy

To determine the influence of phacoemulsification on choroidal vasculature in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) undergoing cataract surgery

Read the detailed description

To determine the influence of phacoemulsification on choroidal vasculature in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) undergoing cataract surgery through the follow-up of choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system.

What is being measured

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

  1. CVI at baseline

    choroidal vascularity index(CVI) was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.

    Measured: CVI was assessed at baseline(within 1 week before surgery)

  2. CVI at 1 week postoperatively

    choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.

    Measured: CVI was assessed 1 week after surgery.

  3. CVI at 1 month postoperatively

    choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.

    Measured: CVI was assessed 1 month after surgery.

  4. CVI at 3 months postoperatively

    choroidal vascularity index (CVI)was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.

    Measured: CVI was assessed 3 months after surgery.

  5. CT at baseline

    Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer; CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.

    Measured: CT was assessed at baseline and 1 week, 1 month, 3 month after surgery.

  6. CT at 1 week postoperatively

    Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer; CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.

    Measured: CT was assessed at 1 week after surgery.

  7. CT at 1 month postoperatively

    Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer; CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.

    Measured: CT was assessed at 1 month after surgery.

  8. CT at 3 months postoperatively

    Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer, CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.

    Measured: CT was assessed at 3 months after surgery.

  9. VD at baseline

    VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid.

    Measured: VD of the choriocapillaris was assessed at baseline.

  10. VD at 1 week postoperatively

    VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid.

    Measured: VD of the choriocapillaris was assessed 1 week after surgery.

  11. VD at 1 month postoperatively

    VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid.

    Measured: VD of the choriocapillaris was assessed 1 month after surgery.

  12. VD at 3 months postoperatively

    VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid

    Measured: VD of the choriocapillaris was assessed 3 months after surgery.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. IOP at baseline

    IOP was the value of intraocular pressure.

    Measured: IOP was assessed at baseline and 1 week, 1 month, 3 month after surgery.

  2. IOP at 1 week postoperatively

    IOP was the value of intraocular pressure .

    Measured: IOP was assessed 1 week after surgery.

  3. IOP at 1 month postoperatively

    IOP was the value of intraocular pressure.

    Measured: IOP was assessed 1 month after surgery.

  4. IOP at 3 months postoperatively

    IOP was the value of intraocular pressure .

    Measured: IOP was assessed 3 months after surgery.

  5. BCVA at baseline

    BCVA was the best corrected visual acuity.

    Measured: BCVA was assessed at baseline .

  6. BCVA at 3 months postoperatively

    BCVA was the best corrected visual acuity.

    Measured: BCVA was assessed 3 months after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Optical Coherence Tomography and Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Ruijin Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 5 Aug 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 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?

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?

CVI at baseline (time frame: CVI was assessed at baseline(within 1 week before surgery)). The study lists 12 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 NCT04499768, 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 5 Aug 2020.
