About this study

This series aims at studying the peripapillary and macular vascular changes in subjects with unilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy via Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA).

Read the detailed description

After approval of the local institutional ethics committee and local institutional review board, This study was conducted upon 30 patients diagnosed with acute NAION attending at Ophthalmology outpatient clinic in Fayoum University Hospitals. The participants were informed about the objectives of the study, the examination, investigations and the confidentiality of their information and their right not to participate in the study. OCT and OCTA was done for all subjects and control group with Optovue, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA. Patients were examined on presentation, after 6 weeks and lastly after 3 months. OCT was used for evaluation of Central macular thickness (CMT), nerve fiber layer thickness (NFLT) and ganglion cell complex (GCC). OCTA was done for quantitative evaluation of vessel density in the following: optic nerve head and peripapillary area, macular superficial vessel density, macular deep vessel density and foveal avascular zone. Vessel density was reported as the percentage of the total area that was occupied by blood vessels. All parameters were calculated automatically by the machine software. Poor quality scans and those with motion artifacts were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 22; SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). The data were presented as the mean ± SD values. P-value <0.05 was considered significant.

    comparing vessel density in different areas and sectors of diseased and fellow eyes

    Measured: 3 months (0,6,12 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Thickness of different retinal layers

    comparing thickness of Central macular thickness (CMT), nerve fiber layer thickness (NFLT) and ganglion cell complex (GCC)

    Measured: 3 months (0,6,12 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, run by Omar Said at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 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 Egypt. 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?

Peripapillary and macular vascular changes (time frame: 3 months (0,6,12 weeks)). 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 11 Sep 2023.
