What participants receive

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

  • lateral rectus recession with biodegradable collagen implantDevice

    Exotropia was treated with bilateral lateral rectus recession procedure. Lateral rectus recession was done. After lateral rectus recession, no degradable collagen implant was placed in the area, where lateral rectus was original inserted. One eye was randomly selected for the comparison.

  • Lateral rectus recession without biodegradable collagen implantationProcedure or surgery

    Exotropia was treated with bilateral lateral rectus recession procedure. Lateral rectus recession was done in the other eye without placing biodegradable collagen implantation.

Without biodegradable collagen implantActive comparatorStrabismus surgery is done without placing of biodegradable collagen implant in the other eye.
Receives: Procedure: Lateral rectus recession without biodegradable collagen implantation

What is being measured

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

  1. Scleral thinning assessed with slit photography

    Scleral thinning at the area, where lateral rectus was originally inserted, was assessed with slit photography. Scleral thinning score was calculated from the Lab color model.

    Measured: Postoperative 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Ocular discharge assessed by questionnaire

    Ocular discharge will be assessed by questionnaire.

    Measured: Postoperative 1 week

  2. Tearing assessed by questionnaire

    Tearing will be assessed by questionnaire.

    Measured: Postoperative 1 week

  3. Foreign body sensation assessed by questionnaire

    Foreign body sensation will be assessed by questionnaire.

    Measured: Postoperative 1 week

  4. Collagen implant protrusion assessed by questionnaire

    Collagen implant protrusion will be assessed by questionnaire.

    Measured: Postoperative 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lateral rectus recession with biodegradable collagen implant and Lateral rectus recession without biodegradable collagen implantation in people with Exotropia or Intermittent Exotropia, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 25 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 South Korea. 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?

Scleral thinning assessed with slit photography (time frame: Postoperative 3 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 NCT02699580, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jan 2017.
