Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 6 to 12 months
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: We reviewed the records of 56 eyes of 43 pediatric patients who underwent congenital cataract surgery with phacoaspiration and simultaneous implantation of IOL under one year of age. All patients were directed to our hospital from primary care ophthalmologists or pediatricians

Who may be able to join

  • unilateral congenital cataract
  • bilateral congenital cataract

Who cannot join

  • other ocular pathologies (such as glaucoma, microphthalmia, micro - or megalocornea, persistent fetal vasculature, retinal congenital disease, corneal scar, traumatic cataracts)
  • systemic diseases (such as chromosomal abnormalities, prematurity or mental retardation)

About this study

Official title: Comparative Analysis of Visual Outcomes of Multifocal and Monofocal Intraocular Lenses in Congenital Cataract Surgery

The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term outcome after congenital cataract surgery comparing results achieved with multifocal and monofocal IOLs.

Read the detailed description

PURPOSE: To assess the impact on visual development of multifocal versus monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantation in children following congenital cataract surgery.

DESIGN: Retrospective interventional consecutive case series. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 56 eyes of 43 pediatric patients who underwent congenital cataract surgery with phacoaspiration and simultaneous implantation of IOL under one year of age. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive error and ocular motility disorders were evaluated after a follow-up greater than 4 years.

What participants receive

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

  • cataract surgeryDevice

    All patients underwent cataract surgery under 1 year of age (mean age 8 months, range 6-12) performed with the same surgical technique: two 1.2 mm clear corneal incision, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis with a diameter of approximately 6.0 mm and intraocular lens implantation, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy.

    IOL power was calculated using Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK)/II formula. Multifocal IOL implantated was Alcon AcrySof ReSTOR SN60D3, while the monofocal one was Alcon AcrySof SN60AT.

    According to the Infant Aphakia treatment Study, the IOL power was calculated as a function of the child age17, with an undercorrection ranging from 4 to 6 D.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean CDVA

    Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), calculated in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), using standard Snellen charts

    Measured: CDVA was evaluated after 4 years of age.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract Congenital, run by Bambino Gesù Hospital and Research Institute.

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 2 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 5 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Mean CDVA (time frame: CDVA was evaluated after 4 years of age.). 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 NCT04872829, 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 May 2021.
