Trial summary

The cardiovascular parameters of prolonged physical exercice have been studied, but very little data is available about the retinal vascularization. The eye allows in vivo visualization of micro-vascularisation and is considered as an excellent marker of general vascular condition. Read more about this study

About this study

The cardiovascular parameters of prolonged physical exercice have been studied, but very little data is available about the retinal vascularization.

The eye allows in vivo visualization of micro-vascularisation and is considered as an excellent marker of general vascular condition.

The marathon is an intense and prolonged exercise (running 42.195 km) in aerobic environment. Thus the investigators propose to study the vascular parameters of the retina, before and after this physical exercise.

This will allow : 1) to collect information on the physiology of the retinal vascularization to prolonged effort, 2) to detect any retinal damage (haemorrhages, edema, occlusion ...), not known to date.

The results may highlight vascular effects related to retinal hypoxia (venous tortuosity, haemorrhage, venous occlusion, hypoxic edema). Furthermore the results may urge prevention in this sport more and more democratized.

the investigators hypothesized that prolonged physical exercice causes a change in retinal vascularization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinal Vascular Disorder and Sport Injury, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild 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 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 7 May 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?

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?

Density of retinal vascular plexuses (time frame: up to 1 hour). 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 NCT03864380, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 May 2019.
