About this study

Official title: Clinical Efficacy of Wireless Micropump in Dry Eye Patients

The purpose of this study is to carry out a trial to get more convincing and valuable results of the wireless micropump in dry eye patients and compare the outcomes before and after eye drops usage. The investigators hope to investigate the micropump comprehensively, including the comparison of tear film break-up time, corneal epithelium defect percentage, and tear film thickness. To meet the demands of a trial, all the examination equipment should be the same for each patient, and this will limit the variations within a study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sodium HyaluronateDrug

    We usage a special type of anterior eye drug delivery system to conduct the transmission of sodium hyaluronate in dry eye patients.

Study groups in NCT04667819
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
sodium hyaluronateExperimentalSodium hyaluronate has become a novel and effective eye drop for the treatment of the dry eye. However, we design a special method of usage of sodium hyaluronate in dry eye patients.
Receives: Drug: Sodium Hyaluronate

What is being measured

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

  1. tear film break-up time

    change before and after sodium hyaluronate with OCCULUS

    Measured: change from baseline with OCCULUS at 6 months

  2. tear film thickness

    change before and after sodium hyaluronate with OCCULUS

    Measured: change from baseline with OCCULUS at 6 months

  3. corneal epithelium defect percentage

    change before and after sodium hyaluronate with OCCULUS

    Measured: change from baseline with OCCULUS at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sodium Hyaluronate in people with Dry Eye, run by Tianjin Eye 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 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?

Contact Yan Wang, director (+862227313336, wangyan7143@vip.sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tear film break-up time (time frame: change from baseline with OCCULUS at 6 months). The study lists 3 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 NCT04667819, which also lists 5 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 16 Dec 2020.
