Trial summary

Pupillary movement during eye surgery can be a challenge for eye surgeons. Despite the risk of intraocular lens damage and malpositioning due to mechanical manipulation1, iris manipulation may lead to a significant elevation of cytokines in the aqueous humor and an increase of postoperative inflammation2, 3.

About this study

Pupillary movement during eye surgery can be a challenge for eye surgeons. Despite the risk of intraocular lens damage and malpositioning due to mechanical manipulation1, iris manipulation may lead to a significant elevation of cytokines in the aqueous humor and an increase of postoperative inflammation2, 3. Iris damage is also known to lead to an increase of prostaglandin production which will not only lead to an increase of inflammation but also has an impact on intraoperative miosis4. This leads to the assumption that postoperative inflammation can be related to intraoperative pupillary movements due to the same leading cause of an increase of inflammatory mediators. Tracking intraoperative pupillary movements might therefore be a helpful tool for the prediction of postoperative PCME and could have an impact on therapeutic decisions after surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • OCT Scan, Video of pupil movement, video of toric lensOther

    A picture of the central macular area is taken, video of pupil movment, video of toric lens rotation.

What is being measured

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

  1. pupillary movement

    Analyzing the extend of pupil movement during cataract surgery

    Measured: during surgery

  2. IOL rotation

    The rotation of the IOL directly after surgery and a 2-4 weeks postoperative when the second eye is operated.

    Measured: Video taken immediately postoperative and 2-4 weeks postoperative

  3. retinal thickness

    OCT Scan to measure retinal thickness at baseline and 2-4 weeks after surgery

    Measured: at baseline and 2-4 weeks postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract and Corneal Disease, run by Klinikum Klagenfurt am Wörthersee at 1 site in Austria.

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 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 7 Dec 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 Austria. 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 Yosuf El-Shabrawi, MD (+43 463 538-32403, yosuf.El-Shabrawi@kabeg.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pupillary movement (time frame: during surgery). The study lists 3 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 NCT06160960, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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?
