Trial summary

Cataract is an important cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide. At present, the only effective treatment method is surgery. The visual function of most patients can be significantly improved after surgery, but there are still 5-20% of patients whose visual function cannot be improved after surgery.

About this study

Cataract is an important cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide. At present, the only effective treatment method is surgery. The visual function of most patients can be significantly improved after surgery, but there are still 5-20% of patients whose visual function cannot be improved after surgery. Previous studies have found that the surgical complications and postoperative visual function of cataract patients are closely related to the condition of the fundus, but the current fundus camera cannot perform clear fundus imaging of cataract patients, and the existing potential visual inspections, such as retinal visual inspection, are also inaccurate. Predict postoperative visual acuity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reliable postoperative effect prediction system for cataract patients to provide reference for both ophthalmologists and patients.

This study intends to collect patient medical record information and traditional/ultra-wide fundus photos and other multi-modal data. Firstly, this study will use artificial intelligence technology to enhance fundus photos of cataract patients to obtain clearer fundus photos. Then this study will use both medical record information and traditional/ultra-wide fundus photographs to predict postoperative vision and visual function of cataract patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract and Retina Disorder, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 1 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 5 Jan 2024. 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 Haotian Lin, M.D., Ph.D. (8613802793086, linht5@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of best corrected visual acuity (time frame: Baseline and 1 week after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05491798, 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 Jan 2024.
