About this study

Official title: Study Comparing a Therapeutic Lens Used Alone to a Therapeutic Lens Used in Association With an Amniotic Membrane Treated by the AMTRIX Process in Postoperative Care After Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)

The purpose of this open controlled multicenter trial is to assess the impact of use of an amniotic membrane on post PKR recovery.

Read the detailed description

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) are two of the most widely used techniques of laser vision correction. However, one of the major disadvantages of the PRK technique is the pain experienced during 1 to 3 days after intervention.

Preliminary data on a limited number of patients tend to show a reduction of pain, tearing and discomfort in patients for whom a amniotic membrane was used under a therapeutic lens.

Being tested
Therapeutic lens alone, Therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (Visio-AMTRIX)
Keywords
PhotoRefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
Medical subject headings
Myopia, Astigmatism, Hyperopia

What participants receive

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

  • Therapeutic lens aloneOther

    Therapeutic lens will be apposed on patient's dominant eye after bilateral PRK. Therapeutic lens will be maintained without interruption until the first postoperative visit when it will be removed by the surgeon.

  • Therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (Visio-AMTRIX)Other

    Amniotic membrane (Visio-AMTRIX) will be apposed under therapeutic lens on patient's non-dominant eye after bilateral PRK. Amniotic membrane and therapeutic lens will be maintained without interruption until the first postoperative visit when it will be removed by the surgeon.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of pain in the eye treated with therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (experimental) compared to eye treated with therapeutic lens alone (active comparator)

    Pain evaluated from 0: no pain to 10: worst imaginable pain on visual analog scale (VAS) in both eyes

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change of pain in the eye treated with therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (experimental) compared to eye treated with therapeutic lens alone (active comparator)

    Pain evaluated from 0: no pain to 10: worst imaginable pain on visual analog scale (VAS) in both eyes

    Measured: 2 days, 3 days, 30 to 45 days

  2. Change of visual discomfort in the eye treated with therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (experimental) compared to eye treated with therapeutic lens alone (active comparator)

    Evaluation by the patient of visual discomfort criteria; tearing, foreign body sensation, blurred vision, and photophobia; from 0: no discomfort to 10: worst imaginable discomfort on visual analog scale (VAS) in both eyes

    Measured: 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 30 to 45 days

  3. Identical healing of both eyes

    Healing evaluated under slit lamp by fluorescein examination with measurement of ulcer size

    Measured: 2 or 3 days, 30 to 45 days

  4. Better visual acuity in the eye treated with therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (experimental) compared to eye treated with therapeutic lens alone (active comparator)

    Determination of logMAR values of uncorrected visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity for both eyes

    Measured: 30 to 45 days

  5. Rate of corneal haze for each treatment

    Evaluation of presence of corneal haze through the Hanna's grading scale from grade 0: no haze to grade 4: very severe haze

    Measured: 30 to 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Therapeutic lens alone and Therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (Visio-AMTRIX) in people with Myopia and Astigmatism, run by TBF Genie Tissulaire at 3 sites in France.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of apparent benefits). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change of pain in the eye treated with therapeutic lens + amniotic membrane (experimental) compared to eye treated with therapeutic lens alone (active comparator) (time frame: Day 1). 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 7 Dec 2022.
