About this study

Official title: Deep Learning-based System for Detection of AIDS-related Cytomegalovirus Retinitis in Ultra-Widefield Fundus Images

Ophthalmological screening for cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) for HIV/AIDS patients is important. However, the manual screening with fundus imaging is laborious and subjective.

Deep learning (DL) system has been developed for the automated detection of various eye diseases with high accuracy and efficiency, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), papilledema, lattice degeneration and retinal breaks, from ocular fundus photographs. UWF imaging is a relatively new imaging modality for DL system but has also shown extraordinary talents in automatic retinal analysis With the press for routine CMVR screening in AIDS patients and the great capacity of DL system, the use of deep learning (DL) system to AIDS-related CMVR with Ultra-Widefield (UWF) fundus images is promising.

The investigators previously developed a DL system to detect AIDS-related CMVR. For further evaluating the applicability of the DL system, a prospective dataset is needed.

Study groups in NCT04831333
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Active CMVRThe UWF images of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) included various patterns: hemorrhagic necrotizing lesion, granular lesion, frosted branch angiitis, and optic neuropathy lesion. Active CMVR lesion was defined as obvious opacity (mild, moderate, severe, very severe)
Inactive CMVRInactive CMVR lesion was defined as a lack of opacity or questionable/equivocal activity.
Non-CMVRThe non-CMVR images included normal retina and other retinopathies such as HIV-related microvascular retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluating the applicability of the DL system to identify AIDS-related CMVR

    The investigators compared the performance between two trained (senior and junior) retinal ophthalmologists with the DL system. A senior retinal ophthalmologist and a junior retinal ophthalmologist were asked to independently screen the UWF images in the prospective dataset. Accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were used to evaluate the performance.

    Measured: April 2021

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cytomegalovirus Retinitis, run by Kuifang Du 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 2 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 21 Jul 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 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?

Evaluating the applicability of the DL system to identify AIDS-related CMVR (time frame: April 2021). 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 21 Jul 2021.
