About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography-based Biometry Devices

Since recently a second swept-source optical coherence tomography (ss-OCT) optical biometry device was launched (Anterion, Heidelberg Engineering). Aim of this study is a retrospective data collection of patients who were measured with both ss-OCT optical biometry devices and to assess the limits of agreement of the two devices.

Retrospective comparison of two ss-OCT biometry devices concerning comparability of measurements of axial eye length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness and keratometry.

Read the detailed description

This a retrospective study including data acquired from patients that attended pre-surgical examination as it is the standard in the investigator's hospital.

The IOL Master 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena) and the Heidelberg Anterion (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) are biometry devices that use swept-source optical coherence tomography technology in combination with a multidot-keratometer, that obtain two-dimensional images of ocular structures.

The difference between the two devices resides in the wavelength of the infrared laser: 1200-1400nm for the Anterion and 1050nm for the IOL Master 700.

The SS-OCT devices provide a scan depth of 44mm and a resolution in tissue of 22 μm for the IOL Master 700 and of 14x16.5 mm and 30 μm for the Heidelberg Anterion.

What participants receive

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

  • Biometric measurement agreementOther

    Patients scheduled for cataract surgery were measured with both ss-OCT devices. The following biometry parameters were compared: anterior keratometry, central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and axial length (AL).

What is being measured

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

  1. Limits of agreement between two optical biometers using the same SS-OCT technology for the following parameters AL, ACD, LT (evaluated in mm)

    For descriptive analysis, Kolmogorov Smirnov test will be used to evaluate normal distribution.

    The student T test for paired samples and Wilcoxon for nonparametric data was used to compare parameters as: AL, ACD, LT.

    The limits of agreement (1.96xSD) between two optical biometers were calculated and represented graphically using Bland-Altman graphs

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Limits of agreement between two optical biometers using the same SS-OCT technology for the following parameters CCT (evaluated in micrometer)

    For descriptive analysis, Kolmogorov Smirnov test will be used to evaluate normal distribution.

    The student T test for paired samples and Wilcoxon for nonparametric data was used to compare the CCT data The limits of agreement (1.96xSD) between two optical biometers were calculated and represented graphically using Bland-Altman graphs

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Limits of agreement between two optical biometers using the same SS-OCT technology for the following parameter: keratometry (evaluated in diopter)

    For descriptive analysis, Kolmogorov Smirnov test will be used to evaluate normal distribution.

    The student T test for paired samples and Wilcoxon for nonparametric data was used to compare keratometry data The limits of agreement (1.96xSD) between two optical biometers were calculated and represented graphically using Bland-Altman graphs

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract Senile, run by Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery at 1 site in Austria.

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 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 3 Apr 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 Austria. 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?

Limits of agreement between two optical biometers using the same SS-OCT technology for the following parameters AL, ACD, LT (evaluated in mm) (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04333056, 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 3 Apr 2020.
