About this study

Investigation of the vitreoretinal contact microarchitecture in the macular and paramacular zones of the human retina.

Read the detailed description

Purpose: to study the features of the macular ILM, to study the features of the preretinal structures of the vitreous body of the Central retinal region, morphofunctional features of preretinal hyalocytes, and the mechanism of vitreoretinal adhesion.

Study Protocol: examination of donor human eyes obtained from an eye Bank after sampling material for corneal transplantation.

Research method: scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the central retina (macular and paramacular zone): ILM, preretinal vitreous.

Scientific hypothesis: vitreoretinal adhesion is provided not by laminin and fibronectin, but by the interweaving of vitreous collagen fibers between the epiretinal vitreous (more firmly fixed to the retinal surface) and the cortical vitreous.

Expected results: determination of ILM thickness in the macular zone, microanatomy of preretinal vitreous strutcures, and possible mechanism of vitreoretinal adhesion, establishing the possibility of intravital synthesis of collagen fibers synthesis in the adult vitreous.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing scanning electron microscopy in people with Vitreoretinal Detachment and Vitreo-Retinal Adhesion, run by The S.N. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery State Institution at 1 site in Russia.

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 17 Mar 2021. 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 Russia. 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?

the ILM thickness in the macular zone (foveola) (time frame: within 3 days after receiving the cadaver eyes). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Mar 2021.
