About this study

Prevalence of HPV-associated eye infection and cytokine levels in tears from patients diagnosed with pterygium

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of HPV infection in primary and recurrent pterygium and the association of HPV types collecting from conjunctiva swab and urine. The second purpose is to compare a quantity of cytokines including IL-6, IL-18 and growth factor including VEGF found in tears of patients with primary and recurrent pterygium to participants with free of ocular disease Primary hypothesis

  • The prevalence of HPV infection in primary pterygium is difference with prevalence in recurrent pterygium patients.

Secondary hypothesis

  • Ocular HPV infection has association with HPV genitalia infection.
  • Tears cytokine and growth factor level (IL-6, IL-18 and VEGF) are higher in pterygium HPV infection than non-HPV infection and also more than normal population

What participants receive

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

  • HPV genotyping assay using HPV GenoArray Diagnostic Kits (Hybribio Ltd., Sheung Wan, Hong Kong)Diagnostic test

    HPV genotyping assay using HPV GenoArray Diagnostic Kits (Hybribio Ltd., Sheung Wan, Hong Kong) for swab sample collected from pterygium and normal conjunctiva and also for urine collected in Colli-PeeTM device (Novosanis, Belgium)

  • Bio-Plex® 200 system (Bio- Rad, Hercules, CA)Diagnostic test

    Bioplex was use for measure cytokine IL-6, IL-18 and VEGF from tears collected from Schirmer strip

What is being measured

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

  1. HPV prevalence

    1. To compare HPV prevalence in subjects with primary pterygium and with recurrent pterygium

    Measured: 1 hour per participants which is on a day for collecting sample

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. HPV autoinoculation

    To assess whether HPV autoinoculation is present, we evaluate whether there is an association between HPV ocular infection and genital infection.

    Measured: 1 hour per participants which is on a day for collecting sample

  2. cytokine IL-6, IL-18 and VEGF levels

    To compare cytokine IL-6, IL-18 and VEGF levels among various subgroups, including recurrent pterygium subjects with HPV positive and HPV negative status, primary pterygium subjects with HPV positive and HPV negative, and subjects without ocular diseases

    Measured: 1 hour per participants which is on a day for collecting sample

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Pterygium, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 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 14 Jul 2020. 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 Thailand. 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?

HPV prevalence (time frame: 1 hour per participants which is on a day for collecting sample). 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 14 Jul 2020.
