About this study

Official title: Comparison of Different Doses of Verteporfin Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

This is a prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). The patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into 50% dose PDT treatment group and 70% dose PDT treatment group. The primary treatment success rate and adverse event rate of the two groups were compared by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and then the best PDT treatment scheme for chronic CSC was summarized.

Being tested
50% dose of photodynamic therapy, 70% dose of photodynamic therapy

What participants receive

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

  • 50% dose of photodynamic therapyProcedure or surgery

    Verteporfin (Visudyne; Novartis, Switzerland) was administrated intravenously over 10 minutes with 50% doses based on the randomization . Fifteen minutes after commencing the verteporfin infusion, a contact lens (Volk® area centralis) was positioned on the affected eye, the treatment area was exposed to a 689 nm laser with a fluence of 600 mw/cm2 for 83 seconds and a total laser energy of 50 J/cm2.

  • 70% dose of photodynamic therapyProcedure or surgery

    Verteporfin (Visudyne; Novartis, Switzerland) was administrated intravenously over 10 minutes with 70% doses based on the randomization . Fifteen minutes after commencing the verteporfin infusion, a contact lens (Volk® area centralis) was positioned on the affected eye, the treatment area was exposed to a 689 nm laser with a fluence of 600 mw/cm2 for 83 seconds and a total laser energy of 50 J/cm2.

What is being measured

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

  1. The complete absorption rate of subretinal fluid

    The absorption of subretinal fluid was observed on optical coherence tomography at each follow up visit

    Measured: 3 months after the primary PDT

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Central foveal thickness change after the PDT

    The hight of central foveal thickness was measured on optical coherence tomography at each visit

    Measured: 12 months after the PDT

  2. Subfoveal choroidal thickness change after the PDT

    The hight of Subfoveal choroidal thickness was measured on optical coherence tomography at each visit

    Measured: 12 months after the PDT

  3. Best corrected visual acuity change after the PDT

    The BCVA was tested at each visit

    Measured: 12 months after the PDT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 50% dose of photodynamic therapy and 70% dose of photodynamic therapy in people with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy and Therapy, Photodynamic, run by Peking University People's Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 25 May 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yuou Yao, Dr (13651177854, yaoyoyo19@139.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The complete absorption rate of subretinal fluid (time frame: 3 months after the primary PDT). 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 25 May 2022.
