About this study

Official title: Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Versus Surgical Peripheral Iridectomy in Early Angle Closure:a Randomized Clinical Trial

This is a randomized controlled clinical trial to compare laser peripheral iridotomy(LPI) and surgical peripheral iridectomy. Subjects of primary angle closure suspect, primary angle closure will be randomized to undergo LPI or SPI. Subjects are proposed to be followed up for 3 years.

Read the detailed description

The following will be studied:

  1. To evaluate the safety of these two techniques for the treatment of angle closure.
  2. To compare the anterior chamber reaction and IOP changes post surgery.
  3. TO establish the UBM/ASOCT chamber angle parameters changes pre and post surgery.
  4. To assess the development of PAS.
Being tested
Surgical Iridectomy, Laser Iridotomy
Keywords
intraocular pressure, Peripheral anterior synechiae

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. intraocular pressure

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Angle assessment parameters

    Angle assessment parameters,such as anterior chamber openning distance,are acquired by anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surgical Iridectomy and Laser Iridotomy in people with Intraocular Pressure Changes and Peripheral Anterior Synechiae Increasing, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2011. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

intraocular pressure (time frame: 3 years). 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 9 Nov 2011.
