Trial summary

The maculopathy induced by the retinal toxicity of the synthetic antimalarials must be detected at the infra-clinical state, when it can still be reversible. Identifying early retinal anatomical changes has always represented (a challenge for medical interns, dermatologists, rheumatologists, and ophthalmologists). Read more about this study

About this study

The maculopathy induced by the retinal toxicity of the synthetic antimalarials must be detected at the infra-clinical state, when it can still be reversible. Identifying early retinal anatomical changes has always represented (a challenge for medical interns, dermatologists, rheumatologists, and ophthalmologists). Currently, the gold-standard for its screening and its diagnostic is the multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG), however it is a long and tedious exam, offered by only few medical centers. It is recommended to find a simple non-invasive alternative, on a commonly used equipment. The study of the ellipsoid (junction line between, the external and internal photoreceptor segments) using optical coherence tomography (OCT-SD) "en face" enables us, to obtain a panoramic viewing of the state of the photoreceptor layer, and to detect any modification, even subtle, within this layer. The OCT-SD "en face" can be easily done by any ophthalmologist who owns one.

The proportion of "en face" OCT-SD showing suggestive retinal damage and patients who present retinal damage in relation with synthetic antimalarial treatments and diagnosed by mfERG is considered in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing spectral domain optical coherence tomography and multifocal electroretinogram in people with Maculopathy, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild.

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 2 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 26 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

concordance between mfERG and "En-face" OCT (time frame: after 1 hour). 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 26 Jan 2018.
