About this study

Official title: Age-Related Changes and Cycloplegia-Induced Differences of the Human Crystalline Lens, Schlemm' s Canal and Trabecular Meshwork:an in Vivo Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Study

The ocular biometric parameters of the human crystalline lens including anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), radii of curvature of anterior and posterior lens (ALR and PLR), lens equatorial diameter (LED), and lens vault (LV), automatically quantified by the CASIA2 (SS-OCT; Tomey, Nagoya, Japan). Images of iridocorneal angle were obtained using CASIA2 and the Schlemm' s canal (SC) and trabecular meshwork (TM) were quantified manually. Both cycloplegia and non-cycloplegia images were obtained.

Read the detailed description

Healthy individuals aged between 6 and 90 years, without history of ocular disease (except age-related cataract and/or myopia), were consecutively included from April to May 2019. All participants underwent visual acuity, dry and wet refraction, anterior and posterior segment examination, intraocular pressure (IOP), and axial length (AL) using IOL-Master 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). Investigators recruited children under 18 years old at a refraction outpatient clinic, who were prescribed cyclopentolate hydrochloride eyedrops (S.A. Alcon-Couvreur N.V., Belguim) for cycloplegic refraction. For adults, they were prescribed compound tropicamide eyedrops (Mydrin-P, Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Osaka, Japan), consisting of 0.5% tropicamide mixed with 0.5% phenylephrine hydrochloride, for pupillary dilation in order to perform fundus examination at an outpatient clinic. Exclusion criteria were as follow:ocular diseases other than cataracts; history of eye surgeries or injuries; shallow anterior chamber with a risk of angle closure. The data from right eye was selected for analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Paired Comparison Before and After Cycloplegia

    The cycloplegia-induced differences of parameters was defined as: the post-cycloplegic value minus the pre-cycloplegic value.

    Measured: 2020.2.3

  2. Evaluated the effect of age on the TM/SC morphologies

    The age-related variations of TM/SC parameters from four age groups were compared.

    Measured: 2020.2.3

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluated the effect of age on the ocular biometric data

    The age-related variations of ocular biometric data such as axial length (AL), lens thickness (LT), and anterior chamber depth (ACD) from four age groups were compared.

    Measured: 2020.2.3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract, run by Wenzhou Medical 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 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: finished, 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 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?

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?

Paired Comparison Before and After Cycloplegia (time frame: 2020.2.3). The study lists 2 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 NCT04576884, 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 6 Oct 2020.
