About this study

Official title: Study of the Retinal Vascularization by Laser Doppler Velocimetry Coupled With an Adaptive Optics Camera ( AO-LDV) in Healthy Subject and Subject Affected by Glaucoma or Retinal Venous Occlusion

The difficulty to measure blood flow in humans is connected with the necessity of using not invasive, reliable and reproducible techniques.

There is several quantitative approaches to study eye blood flow which do not answer all these specifications. The laser doppler velocimetry allows movement speed measures but not vessel diameter. Optical coherence tomography doppler allows a simultaneous diameter and speed of travel (movement) measures, but presents a limited spatial resolution and thereby not easily reproducible vessel diameter measures.

The investigators propose development of a technique allowing a simultaneous diameter and velocity measure of these vessels.

Read the detailed description

The eye blood flow plays a fundamental role in the eye physiology, insuring the metabolic contributions of various eye tissues, in particular those associated with the vision photochemical processes. Eye blood flow changes are involved in the physiopathology of several frequent eye diseases susceptible to lead to blindness (glaucoma,age-related macular degeneration, venous or arterial occlusions). Numerous systematic pathologies can also alter eye blood flow (diabetes, sleep apnea, arterial high blood pressure, inflammation).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of total retinal blood flow in healthy subject

    Total retinal blood flow measurement in healthy subject at rest

    Measured: Day 0, Day 30 to Day 60

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Repeatability and reproducibility of retinal blood flow measures intra and inter session

    Coefficient of variation for Repeatability and Reproducibility (3 measures session every 5 minutes on the same day, repeated one or two months after)

    Measured: Day 0, Day 30 to Day 60

  2. Change of retinal blood flow in different ages subjects

    Total retinal blood flow measurement in different ages subjects

    Measured: Day 0, Day 30 to Day 60

  3. Evaluation of the relation between retinal blood flow and vessel diameter

    Retinal blood flow and diameter of principal vessels coming from the optic disc

    Measured: Day 0, Day 30 to Day 60

  4. Measure retinal blood flow in subject with glaucoma and compare results with healthy subjects

    Total retinal blood flow measured in subjects with glaucoma and age- and sex-matched healthy subjects

    Measured: Day 0

  5. Measure retinal blood flow in subject with retinal vein occlusion and compare results with measurements made in ipsilateral non pathogenic vessels, controlateral vessels and healthy subjects.

    Total blood flow compare to the controlateral eye and healthy subject data

    Measured: Day 0, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6

  6. Retinal blood flow evaluation after 1, 2 and 3 months after the inclusion of subject with retinal vein occlusion

    Partial retinal blood flow in a occluded temporal vein compare to a healthy ipsilateral temporal vein

    Measured: Day 0, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3

  7. Retinal blood flow evaluation after 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after intravitreal injection of aflibercept in subject treated for macular oedema as a complication of retinal vein occlusion

    Retinal blood flow evolution will be evaluated regarding macular oedema and retinal ischaemia occurence

    Measured: Day 0, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laser Doppler Velocimetry + Optic Adaptative Camera in people with Glaucoma and Retinal Vein Occlusion, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 19 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2019. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Florent APTEL, PhD (faptel@chu-grenoble.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of total retinal blood flow in healthy subject (time frame: Day 0, Day 30 to Day 60). 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 17 Jun 2019.
