About this study

To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict DR progression based on a prospective cohort database.With use of an innovative AI model and a validated machine learning algorithm, based on multimodal vascular and neuro imaging of the eye, the progression of diabetic microangiopathy especially the DR could successfully be predictse and fundamentally facilitate diabetes management.

Read the detailed description

To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict DR progression based on a prospective cohort database.This study will first conduct a prospective single-center cohort, which will enroll 250 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). The follow-up time points will be 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after enrollment or reaching the endpoint (any condition that needs retinal photocoagulation, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections, and pars plana vitrectomy). The study will collect both patient clinical characteristics and multi-model eye imaging. With use of an innovative AI model and a validated machine learning algorithm, based on multimodal vascular and neuro imaging of the eye, the progression of diabetic microangiopathy especially the DR could successfully be predictse and fundamentally facilitate diabetes management.

What is being measured

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

  1. DRSS Score and Classification

    The progression of DR is based on the increase of DRSS score and classification.

    Ophthalmologists at the Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, will independently read UWF CFP in a semi-quantitative manner to assess the severity of DR based on the DRSS.

    Progression of DR in T2DM patients with varying degrees of NPDR is calculated based on DRSS. An increase of at least one level in grading is considered progression. For instance, progression from grade 43A to 47A or higher is considered progression, while progression from 43A to 43B is not.

    Measured: At Enrollment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Renal Function Test

    Progression to DN is considered when the UACR increases from < 30 mg/g to ≥ 30 mg/g.

    Measured: At Enrollment

  2. Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment

    Progression to DPN is considered when the MNSI score questionnaire section ≥ 4 points, while the examination section ≥ 2 points.

    Measured: At Enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Retinopathy, 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 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hong Qi, Dr. (+8613901066889 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?

DRSS Score and Classification (time frame: At Enrollment). 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 Dec 2024.
