About this study

Official title: A Double-masked, Randomized, Cross-over Comparative Study of Novel Myopia Control Designed Lens (Test Lens) Versus Single Vision Lens (SVL; Control)

This is a mono-center, randomized, double-masked, cross-over study to evaluate rate of myopia progression with novel designed myopia control lens (test) compared to SVL (control). A total of 120 children will be recruited where 60 participants each will be randomized either to wear test (Group 1) or SVL lenses (Group 2) for 6 months each. At the end of the 6 months period, there will be a cross- over of lenses and the lenses evaluated for a further 6 months. At the end of the 12 month period, all participants (Group 1 and Group 2) will wear test lenses for another 6 months.

Read the detailed description

Myopia has been considered as a 'global epidemic' owing to its rapid rise in prevalence across the world. Myopia significantly affects the quality of life of an individual socially by restriction of employment in various fields and economically by additional cost for eye care and spectacles and contact lenses (Lim, Gazzard et al. 2009). In addition, high myopia increases the risk of ocular morbidity such as retinal detachment, cataract, glaucoma which can could lead to blindness. Several optical and pharmaceutical strategies were developed over the recent years that could control or slow the progression of myopia.

It has been shown that persistent myopic defocus constantly applied on the whole retina has a beneficial effect on myopia progression, i.e. decrease in myopia progression (Anstice and Phillips 2011, Cheng, Woo et al. 2011, Ehsaei, Chisholm et al. 2011). In addition, a meta-analysis on the efficacy of non-invasive optical treatment strategies for myopia control reported prismatic bifocals to have the best outcome (Cheng, Woo et al. 2011). Therefore, test lenses were designed to increase the area and amount of myopic defocus on the retina without compromising vision.

Thus, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of test lenses to reduce the progression of myopia by either reducing the myopia progression rate per year and/or reducing the elongation of eyeball through myopic defocus compared with SVL. A total of 120 healthy children aged 8 to 13 years will be recruited to participate in a double-masked cross-over clinical trial. Cycloplegic autorefraction will be the primary measure for myopia progression and axial length will the secondary outcome measure. Visual acuity will also be compared between test lens and control lens to determine the quality of vision using test lens.

Model description
This is a mono-center, randomized, double-masked, cross-over study to evaluate if novel design lens can slow down the progression of myopia. A total of 120 healthy children aged between 8 years to 13 years with myopia (-0.75D to -4.75D) meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited. These children will be randomized to wear test lenses followed by control lenses (Group 1) or to wear control lenses followed by test lenses (Group 2). At the end of the 12 month period, all participants will wear test lenses for another 6 months. All children will be followed at 3-monthly intervals for 1.5 years to monitor for changes in axial length and 6-monthly for changes in cycloplegic autorefraction. The cross-over design allows to compare treatment effects between the two groups at 6 months, 12 months and at 18 months. In addition, at the end of the study, the treatment effects can be compared within subject as each subject will have worn both lenses and serves as his/her control.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Myopia, run by Brien Holden Vision Institute at 1 site in Vietnam.

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 12 inclusion and 3 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 28 Jan 2021. 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 Vietnam. 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?

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?

Cycloplegic refraction (time frame: Up to 18 months). 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 NCT04048148, 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 28 Jan 2021.
