A study testing Sodium Hyaluronate, Vitamin A, Vitamin E in people with Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy New Vessels on Disc, run by Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital.

Trial summary

Commonly know that one of the complications caused by Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is microangiopathy. Microangiopathy in the long term may lead to neuropathy of the corneal nerves. Neuropathy of the cornea will lead to dry eyes in DM patient. One of the artificial tears used in treating dry eyes is sodium hyaluronate. Read more about this study

About this study

Commonly know that one of the complications caused by Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is microangiopathy. Microangiopathy in the long term may lead to neuropathy of the corneal nerves. Neuropathy of the cornea will lead to dry eyes in DM patient. One of the artificial tears used in treating dry eyes is sodium hyaluronate. But until recently no research had been done in examining the effect of giving combination of sodium hyaluronate, vitamin A and vitamin E in dry eyes. The antioxidant, and capability of vitamin A and E in promoting cell proliferation may alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes. In this paper we used Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Tear Break Up time, Schirmer I test and impression cytology to assess baseline and 28 days post therapy in patient with Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR), and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR)

Read the detailed description

The study is double blind randomized clinical trial, comparing the usage of combination of sodium hyaluronate 0.15%, vitamin A and vitamin E eye drops compared to sodium hyaluronate 0.1% eye drop only in patient with NPDR or PDR with decreased corneal sensitivity. The examination consisted of OSDI questionnaire, tear film break up time, Schirmer I, and goblet cell density, examined at baseline and 4 weeks (day 28) after the initial eye drops is given. For sample size calculation, estimated 96 patients are required to give statistical effect, this number already calculating the possibility of 20% drop out rate. Every eligible patient is then randomized with block randomization into each allocated arm. Statistical analysis used for this study is unpaired T test if the data distribution is normal, if not Mann-Whitney test will be used.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire

    A questionnaire to measure subjective symptoms of dry eyes. Possible score of 0 (no dry eye) to 100 (severe dry eye). Measured at baseline, day 14 and day 28.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Tear Film Breakup Time

    Measurement in seconds of tear film stability. The shorter the fluorescein tear break up time, the lower the tear film stability. Measured at baseline and day 28.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Schirmer I Test

    Measurement of tear production. The amount of tears are measured in total millimeters after 5 minutes has elapsed. Measured at baseline and day 28.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Conjunctival Goblet Cell Density

    Measurement of conjunctival goblet cell count per mm2. Measured at baseline and day 28.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Model description
The study examining DM patient with NPDR or PDR complication with decrease corneal sensitivity. Patient with decreased corneal sensitivity were grouped between NPDR and PDR. NPDR group divided into treatment group (combination of sodium hyaluronate, vitamin A and Vitamin E eye drops given 6 times/day) and control group (Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops only given 6 times/day). Likewise, PDR group divided into treatment group (combination of sodium hyaluronate, vitamin A and Vitamin E eye drops given 6 times/day) and control group (Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops only given 6 times/day).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sodium Hyaluronate, Vitamin A, Vitamin E in people with Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy New Vessels on Disc, run by Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 27 Jun 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Vincent Tahija, MD (+61816896807, Vincent.tahija@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 4 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 27 Jun 2019.
