About this study

Official title: Visual Outcomes Following Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty for Corneal Endothelial Dysfunction

To assess objective and subjective visual outcomes achieved by patients with corneal endothelial dysfunction who have undergone surgical treatment with Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).

Read the detailed description

Since 2006, the technique by removing the Descemet membrane from the recipient cornea was renamed Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). In recent years, DSAEK techniques have evolved, favoring increasingly thinner and finer grafts, known as ultrathin DSAEK (UT DSAEK), with the aim of obtaining better visual results.

Endothelial keratoplasty is now the most common surgical procedure used to treat endothelial dysfunction. The current study focused on assessing both objective and subjective visual quality outcomes following DSAEK.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual acuity

    Scored with reference to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and its variation in line gain.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Corneal Endothelial Disorder, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 Sep 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?

Visual acuity (time frame: 1 year). 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 Sep 2018.
