About this study

Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumor in children..IAC--Targeted Treatment for Intraocular Retinoblastoma,Is minimally invasive procedure that infuse chemotherapy select into the ophthalmic artery, its can increasing the drug concentration reaching the tumor and reducing systemic toxicity compared with traditional intravenous treatment.: one is Ballon technique , another is selective ophthalmic artery infusion.This study evaluates the difference of Ballon technique and selective ophthalmic artery infusion effect in the treatment of retinoblastoma. Half of participants will receive, Ballon technique while the other half will receive selective ophthalmic artery infusion

Read the detailed description

Delivering the chemotherapeutic agent in the arterial system through the ophthalmic artery transforms the treatment of retinoblastoma from systemic chemotherapy to local chemotherapy. Two alternative means can be used,The purpose of this study is to show that Ballon technique and SOAI delivered directly through the artery supplying the eye (ophthalmic artery) to patients with retinoblastoma is a safe and effective treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Globe salvage rate (Eyes saved/Eyes treated)

    Event defined as the need for external beam enucleation,To assess the saving of eyes affected with IAC for patients who would have been candidates for enucleation

    Measured: Three years from intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Visual pathway function

    Evaluation of visual pathway function will be measured composite using visual acuity, electroretinogram, visual evoked potential, and functional magnetic resonance imaging

    Measured: Three years from intervention

  2. complications

    Short and long term complications

    Measured: Three years from intervention

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact jing zhang (136262828465, fejr@foxmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Globe salvage rate (Eyes saved/Eyes treated) (time frame: Three years from intervention). 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.
