About this study

Retinal detachment (RD) resulting from the macular hole (MH), also known as MH-induced RD (MHRD), most commonly occurs in eyes with high myopia and results in irreversible visual disorders. Although ILM peeling for MHRD reportedly achieves a high retinal reattachment rate that ranges from 70% to 100%, the MH closure rate is relatively low, ranging from 10% to 70%.

What participants receive

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

  • Vitrectomy with ILM peelingProcedure or surgery

    Vitrectomy with traditional internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling technique is regarded as the gold standard treatment for MH; it works by completely relieving of the traction of the macula and increasing the flexibility of the retina

What is being measured

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

  1. Closure of macular hole

    It is a subjective outcome measured by Optical coherence tomography and by clinical slit lamb examination

    Measured: 6 months post operative

  2. BCVA

    It is a measure of the visual acuity, which will be measured by LogMar

    Measured: baseline

  3. BCVA

    It is a measure of the visual acuity, which will be measured by LogMar

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  4. BCVA

    It is a measure of the visual acuity, which will be measured by LogMar

    Measured: 12 months postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitrectomy with ILM peeling in people with Retinal Detachment, run by Al-Azhar University 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 8 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Closure of macular hole (time frame: 6 months post operative). 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 8 Jan 2024.
