About this study

This is a data collection study involving the gathering of clinical data and OCT (optical coherence tomography) scans from 350 patients.

The purpose of this study is to gather data to help develop an AI algorithm to detect eye abnormalities specifically those related to certain cancer treatments.

At the end of the study interviews will be held with expert ophthalmologists to assess the acceptability of implementing AI into clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Many cancer patients will access new treatments through clinical trials. These treatments have often never been tested in humans and therefore, are likely to have unknown side effects. Some of these side effects include changes to the eye, such as blindness.

Ahead of patients taking part in these trials there is often little planning done to manage potential side effects on the eye. Additionally, accessing the expertise of eye specialists is not always available and often referral to a specialist is only given when eye symptoms have become advanced. These delays in identifying side effects on the eye also delays treatment and follow-up management. Providing patients access to this expertise would help in the detection and management of treatment side effects, however, due to demands on resources this access is not always readily available.

The aim of this study is to create an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can detect changes to the eye related to disease, which, in the future, can be specifically used in cancer patient care. Additionally, developing an AI program to detect cancer related side effects to the eye will go a significant way in easing the burden on the health care system and improve side effects from new cancer treatments.

This study will involve the collection of eye scans and medical data from participants at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. These will then be used to develop AI methods to detect changes in the eye related to those seen by patients on cancer treatment. The AI will then be compared with the assessments of eye specialists to assess if they give similar results.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of All Comers, run by University of Manchester at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2022. 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 United Kingdom. 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 Tariq Aslam (0161 276 1234, tariq.aslam@manchester.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure of the diagnostic accuracy of the AI algorithm against gold standard clinical assessment associated with cancer treatment. (time frame: 12 months). 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 9 Nov 2022.
