About this study

Official title: Changes of Visual Field Defects After Selective Intra-arterial Thrombolysis for Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency which leads to devastating visual function defects and poor prognosis. Though traditional conservative treatments are widely used, none of them is proved to be effective. A number of meta-analyses and observational studies indicate intravenous thrombolysis to be beneficial in CRAO. Selective intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) introducing rt-PA directly into the ophthalmic circulation by super-selective microcatheterization may reduce the complications such as intracranial and systemic hemorrhage. The residual visual field is significant for patients with CRAO who have poor central visual acuity. Thus, it is clinically significant to study the changes in visual fields in eyes with CRAO.

Read the detailed description

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency which leads to devastating visual function defects and poor prognosis. Though traditional conservative treatments are widely used, none of them is proved to be effective. The respective responses of brain and retinal tissues to acute ischemia share many features is the rationale for therapeutic thrombolysis in CRAO. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has been a therapeutic choice for CRAO since the 1960s, and in the United States, tPA is currently administered in 5.8% of patients admitted with CRAO. A number of meta-analyses and observational studies indicate intravenous thrombolysis to be beneficial in CRAO. Selective intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) introducing rt-PA directly into the ophthalmic circulation by super-selective microcatheterization which has the advantage of reducing the dose of rt-PA reaching the systemic circulation. It is clinically significant to study the changes in visual fields in eyes with CRAO. The short-term temporal changes (≤7-day) of VFDs and the adverse reactions in eyes with CRAO after IAT were investigated to assess the efficacy and safety of the procedure in this retrospective study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the mean deviation

    Change of the visual field index as mean deviation (MD) examed by Humphrey visual field analyzer at 7days

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Change of the visual field index

    Change of the visual field index as visual field index (VFI) examed by Humphrey visual field analyzer at 7 days

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)

    best corrected visual acuity of logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Adverse reactions at 7 days

    Death, symptomatic or asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, intraocular hemorrhage

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion and Visual Field, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 13 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 the mean deviation (time frame: 7 days). 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?
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 22 Feb 2023.
