Trial summary

Clear-lens extraction has been considered as first-line therapy for primary angle closure glaucoma(PACG) and application of toric intraocular lens (IOLs) leads to better postoperative visual acuity, yet little is known about the prevalence of corneal astigmatism in PACG patients.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Primary angle closure was defi ned as iridotrabecular contact, either appositional or synechial, of at least 180° on gonioscopy, and primary angle-closure glaucoma as reproducible glaucomatous visual fi eld defects, glaucomatous optic neuropathy, or both, and intraocular pressure greater than 21 mm Hg on at least one occasion.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who are phakic and aged 40 years or older , and had newly diagnosed primary angle closure with intraocular pressure 30 mm Hg or greater or primary angle-closure glaucoma, will be recruited during preoperative screening at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with corneal disease, irregular astigmatism, previous corneal or intraocular surgery, or a history of ocular inflammation will be excluded.

About this study

Clear-lens extraction has been considered as first-line therapy for primary angle closure glaucoma(PACG) and application of toric intraocular lens (IOLs) leads to better postoperative visual acuity, yet little is known about the prevalence of corneal astigmatism in PACG patients. We intend to make biometry examination for Chinese PACG patients, to obtain keratometry (K) , axial length (AL) and so on, and demographics data will also be recorded. We will study the prevalence of corneal astigmatism before glaucoma surgery in Chinese patients with PACG. Furthermore, differences of corneal astigmatism between primary angle-closure glaucoma and cataract patients will be explored. Finally, the prevalence of corneal astigmatism before glaucoma surgery in Chinese patients with PACG will be portrayed and can be instructive to the IOLs' manufactering.

Read the detailed description

Biometry examination contains keratometry (K) , axial length (AL), central anterior chamber depth, visual field loss(mean deviation, MD), choroidal thickness(CT), range of goniosynechia, and stage of PACG.

Demographics data contains age, gender, and eye.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of corneal astigmatism

    Data of corneal astigmatism will be acquired through examination,and different types of corneal astigmatism will be diagnosed and seperated.Moreover,we will analyse the prevalence of corneal astigmatism,and compare among different age groups and different genders.Correlation between demographic features and data will be analysed,too.

    Measured: During preoperative screening (1 day)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Prevalence of keratometry

    Flat,steep and mean keratometry will be examined before glaucoma surgery. Moreover,we will analyse the prevalence of corneal astigmatism,and compare among different age groups and different genders.

    Measured: During preoperative screening (1 day)

  2. Prevalence of axial length

    Axial length will be measured by both IOL Master and A-scan, and data will be compared between different measurements,different genders and different age groups.

    Measured: During preoperative screening (1 day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glaucoma, Angle-Closure and Astigmatism, run by Mingkai Lin 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 1 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 31 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?

Prevalence of corneal astigmatism (time frame: During preoperative screening (1 day)). 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 NCT03159780, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 31 Oct 2017.
