About this study

Official title: The Effect of High Dose Steroid and Normobaric Oxygen Therapy on Recent Onset Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy(NAION); a Randomized Clinical Trial

Patients diagnosed with NAION within 14 days of onset were included. Patients were randomized into 3 groups. Group 1 or control consisted of 30 patients who received gelatinous capsules filled with sugar as placebo. Group 2 or steroid consisted of 30 patients received methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol, Pharmacia Pharmaceutical Company, Belgium) 500 mg twice a day for 3 days followed by 2 weeks of oral prednisolone 1mg/kg/day. Thirty patients in group 3 or oxygen received 100% normobaric oxygen with face mask in sitting position, at a flow rate of 5 liters per minute for 1 hour twice a day for two weeks Functional and structural outcomes were assessed at 1 and 6 months following treatment. Best corrected visual acuity was the main outcome measure, and mean deviation index of visual field test and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness were secondary outcome measures.

Being tested
placebo, Intravenous methylprednisolone, normobaric oxygen with face mask

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Intravenous methylprednisolone and normobaric oxygen with face mask in people with NAION( Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy), run by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 4 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 12 May 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 Iran. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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?

Contact mohammad pakravan (009822591616, labbafi@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Best corrected visual acuity using Snellen chart (time frame: until 6 months). 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 12 May 2015.
