About this study
Official title: Identifying Progression of Retinal Disease in Eyes With Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in Diabetes Type 2 Using Non-invasive Procedures
The purpose of this study is to identify eyes that show worsening and disease progression (progressor phenotypes).
Read the detailed description
To identify "progressors" in retinal vascular disease and central retinal edema in type 2 diabetic patients with early NPDR, based on retinal disease progression from baseline to the 12-month visit, assessed by the following biomarkers:
- Microaneurysms turnover (MA formation rate over or equal to 2, i.e. number of new MA from baseline to the 12-month visit) computed from color fundus photographs using the RetmarkerDR software; and
- Retinal thickness increase in eyes with retinal thickening (Increase in retinal thickness above normal range) in the central subfield, the inner ring and/or the outer ring Constantly Present, Present or Absent (as measured by OCT and considering the macula thickness normative data.
- Medical subject headings
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Type-2 diabetes, NPDR | Type-2 diabetic patients with NPDR. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Identify "progressors"
To identify "progressors" in retinal vascular disease and central retinal edema, the following 2 biomarkers will be considered: the MA formation rate (biomarker for the progression of retinal vascular disease) and the presence of retinal thickening in the central subfield and/or the inner ring (biomarker for the presence of retinal edema).
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Identify correlations between "progressors" and study outcomes.
To identify correlations between "progressors" and the different study outcomes.
To explore the parameters, and to identify highly predictive outcomes.
Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes and Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, run by European Vision Institute Clinical Research Network at 1 site in Portugal.
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 7 inclusion and 6 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 Feb 2015. 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 Portugal. 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?
Identify "progressors" (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01145599, which also lists 5 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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2015.
