About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of Applying Fibrin Glue in Patients With Corneal Ulcer or Patients Requiring Wound Closure by Suture

This clinical trial tries to use tissue fibrin glues (Tisseel) to treat various ocular surface diseases or surgeries, which includes pterygium surgery, corneal melting/perforation, Gunderson's flap, conjunctival laceration, and muscle/clinical/filtering surgery.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial tries to use tissue fibrin glues (Tisseel) to treat various ocular surface diseases or surgeries. The inclusion criteria are:

  1. ocular surface disease which may need amniotic membrane transplantation (corneal pro epithelization, pterygium surgery, etc)
  2. infectious or noninfectious corneal ulcer with perforation less than 3 mm
  3. conjunctival transplantation/suture
  4. corneal surgeries which can be treated by conventional suture technique or application with cyanoacrylic acid tissue glues.

Informed consents will be obtained from the patients before applications. After surgeries, topical steroids and antibiotics will be used, and therapeutic contact lens will be used. The patients will be followed up for at least three months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing tissue fibrin glue application (Tisseel) in people with Pterygium and Corneal Ulcer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2008. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

cure of the diseases (time frame: 1week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 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 29 May 2008.
