Trial summary

Macular schisis associated with macular detachment is a one of the complications of high myopia. There is controversy in the primary treatment for this situation. This study will compare the effects of macular buckling + gas injection versus vitrectomy + internal limiting membrane peeling + gas tamponade in a cohort… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Single Center Study Comparing the Efficacy of Macular Buckle Versus Vitrectomy + Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling + Gas Tamponade on Macular Schisis and Concurrent Macular Detachment in Eyes With Highly Myopia

Macular schisis associated with macular detachment is a one of the complications of high myopia. There is controversy in the primary treatment for this situation. This study will compare the effects of macular buckling + gas injection versus vitrectomy + internal limiting membrane peeling + gas tamponade in a cohort of highly myopic eyes with macular retinal detachment associated with macular schisis.

What participants receive

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

  • Macular bucklingProcedure or surgery

    Surgical procedures of macular buckling, drainage of aqueous fluid (0.1-0.2 ml) through limbal paracentesis, and inject gas ( C3F8 100%, 0.2ml-0.3ml) into vitreous body through pars plana, under systemic anesthesia.

  • VitrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Surgical procedures of small gauge vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and gas (C3F8, 14%) tamponage, under local or systemic anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Macular buckling and Vitrectomy in people with Retinoschisis and Macular Detachment, 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 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?

Retinal re-attachment rate (time frame: 3 month). 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 16 Oct 2017.
