Trial summary

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive imaging technique that allows one to see blood vessels in the retina.

About this study

Official title: Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) Quantitative Assessment of Choriocapillaris Blood Flow in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC)

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive imaging technique that allows one to see blood vessels in the retina. The investigating team used this approach in patients with acute, recurrent and persistent subtypes of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) to check for possible Choriocapillaris hypoperfusion. The presence or absence of these microvascular changes was explored in both eyes of the patients and compared to a control group of healthy volunteers. The possibility of a correlation between Choriocapillaris flow deficits, age and spontaneous resolution of serous retinal detachment was also evaluated. This study was conducted in an effort to improve one's understanding of this disease and other pachychoroid disorders.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A)Device

    Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) images were acquired using an Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography device (Cirrus High Definition OCT Model 5000 with Angioplex; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, California, USA). With an acquisition speed of 68,000 A-Scan per second, the OCT Microangiography Complex algorithm provided OCT-A information for three-dimensional (3D) flow reconstruction. At each visit, each subject underwent a 3 x 3 millimeter (mm) macular 3D cube acquisition in both eyes. FastTrac continuous eye tracking technology was employed to control for eye movements and minimize motion artefacts.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total number average individual area of flow signal voids

    3x3 Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) images on choriocapillaris slab were exported from the Angioplex software and then imported into the open-source Fiji software. Each image was binarized in black and white pixels. Thresholded areas greater than or equal to 1 white pixel were considered as flow signal voids

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Total area of flow signal voids

    3x3 Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) images on choriocapillaris slab were exported from the Angioplex software and then imported into the open-source Fiji software. Each image was binarized in black and white pixels. Thresholded areas greater than or equal to 1 white pixel were considered as flow signal voids

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 15 May 2019. 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?

Total number average individual area of flow signal voids (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 May 2019.
