About this study

to analyze the clinical and tear molecular profile up to 6 months after FS-LASIK surgery

Read the detailed description

FS-LASIK is a refractive surgery technique widely used in China. To explore the role of inflammation and nerve in the occurrence and development of dry eyes after FS-LASIK by dynamically observing the ocular surface characteristics and the levels of inflammatory factors and neurotransmitters in the early and late stage after FS-LASIK.

What is being measured

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

  1. ocular surface disease index (OSDI)

    OSDI is one of the most frequently used questionnaires for evaluation of dry eye disease (DED). This includes 12 questions which measure the frequency of symptoms over the recent week, and the scores range from 0 to 100.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  2. Tear break-up time (TBUT)(s)

    BUT is the time from normal blinking to the first appearance of a break in the tear film.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  3. Corneal fluorescein staining (CFS)

    The degree of fluorescein staining of the cornea was evaluated using the National Eye Institute (NEI) scale of five corneal regions (central, superior, temporal, nasal, and inferior). The scores range from 0 to 15.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  4. Schirmer Ⅰ test (SⅠt) (mm/5 minutes)

    The Schirmer I test is performed using sterile strips without anesthesia. The strips are placed in the lateral part of the inferior fornix of the eye for 5min and the extent of tear flow down was measured in millimeters.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. the concentration of Interleukin-1β(IL-1β) (pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this inflammatory cytokine. IL-1β levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  2. the concentration of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) (pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this inflammatory cytokine. IL-6 levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this inflammatory cytokine. IL-10 levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  5. the concentration of Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) (pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this inflammatory cytokine. IL-17A levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  6. the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)(pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this inflammatory cytokine. TNF-α levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  7. the concentration of interferon-γ (IFN-γ)(pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this inflammatory cytokine. IFN-γ levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  8. the concentration of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)(pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this inflammatory cytokine. GM-CSF levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  9. the concentration of substance P (SP)(pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this neuropeptide. SP levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  10. the concentration of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) (pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this neuropeptide. α-MSH levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  11. the concentration of β-endorphin (pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this neuropeptide. β-endorphin levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  12. the concentration of neurotensin (pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this neuropeptide. β-endorphin levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  13. the concentration of oxytocin(pg/ml)

    basal tears will be collected from the inferior meniscus of each subject to test this neuropeptide. oxytocin levels will be quantified by Luminex immunoassay.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  14. Lissamine green staining

    To grade the temporal zone, the subject looks nasally; to grade the nasal zone the subject looks temporally. The upper and lower conjunctiva can also be graded.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  15. meibomian gland dropout rate

    grade 0: no gland atrophy; grade 1: ≤1/3 gland atrophy; grade 2: 1/3 to 2/3 gland atrophy;grade 3: >2/3 gland atrophy.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  16. corneal sensitivity (range, 60-0 mm)

    Corneal sensitivity will be measured in the right eye only using the Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer and the ascending method of limits to determine the threshold of stimulus detection.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  17. sub-basal corneal nerve density (mm/mm2)

    Sub-basal corneal nerve plexus image will be acquired using a laser scanning confocal microscope.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  18. numerical rating scale (NRS)

    The NRS was used to evaluate ocular pain and consists of a numbered line from 0 to 10 scores that measures pain intensity: 0-1: no pain; 2-4: mild pain; 5-7: moderate pain; and 8-10: severe pain.

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

  19. NPSI-Eye (range 0-100 score)

    Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory modified for the Eye (NPSI-Eye) (range 0-100 over a 24-hour recall period)

    Measured: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dry Eye, run by Peking University Third 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 13 Sep 2023. 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 Hong Qi, M.D. (13901066889 ext. 010, doctorqihong@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ocular surface disease index (OSDI) (time frame: from Pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Sep 2023.
