About this study

Official title: The Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase 13(MMP13), Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 3(TIMP13), and Calcium-sensing Receptor(CaSR) in Human Trabecular Meshwork

This study was to assess the distinct expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13,tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3, and calcium-sensing receptor, in human trabecular meshwork between normal and glaucomatous eyes.The expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 13, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3 and calcium-sensing receptor in the trabecular meshwork tissues were examined by streptavidin-peroxidase immunohistochemical staining method and western blot, and histological changes of trabecular meshwork were studied by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing trabeculectomy in people with Open-angle Glaucoma, run by Lv Yingjuan 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2017. 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?

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?

the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 13 and calcium-sensing receptor (time frame: one hour after operation). 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 10 Jan 2017.
