About this study

Official title: Validation of Bulbicam for Use on Patient Suffering From Parkinson and Ataxia

Aim is to investigate repeatability and stability of four Neurological-related Bulbicam tests in patients suffering Parkinson (PD),Ataxia (AT) and matched healthy control (HC).

Study population The study consists of the patients suffering from PD or AT and HV of both genders above 18 years of age without any eye- or neurological disorder.

Bulbicam will be used in the study and five tests will be performed

The study will be performed as a controlled, open and non-randomized, stratified observational single center. The stratification factors will be pathology (PD\&AT) and internal classifications. ed.

The main variables will be the variables recorded at the four Bulbicam tests and the standard neuro-ophthalmological variables included for PD and AT

Participants, who fulfil the inclusion criteria; do not meet any of the exclusion criteria and willing to give informed consent to participate will receive an appointment for starting the study. During the first day of the study, the included patients will undergo a neuro-ophthalmological examination by a neurologist. Additionally, Bulbicam examination will be performed twice with a rest period of one hour between each registration.

The healthy controls will only undergo a standard examination and twice BulbiCam examination. The controls will only participate one day. The patients will participate two more days with two Bulbicam examinations per day.

Sample size:

Sixteen PD-patients ,16 AT-patients and 32 HCs will be included in the study.

Read the detailed description

Aim

  • To investigate repeatability and stability of four Neurological-related Bulbicam tests in patients suffering from PD, AT and HC.
  • To contribute to establishment of normal range for PD and AT patients with different degree in the disease development related to the Bulbicam tests.
  • To contribute to establishment of normal range of these Bulbicam tests for a normal population without neurological or ophthalmological disease.

Study population The study consists of the following three study populations: 1) Patients suffering from PD of both genders above 18 years of age; 2) Patients suffering from AT of both genders above 18 years of age; 3) Gender- and age-matched HC without any eye- or neurological disorder.

Trial equipment Bulbicam will be used in the study and the following five tests will be performed at each investigation: "Fixation", "Saccade" "Nystagmus", "Smooth pursuit" and "Pupil".

Design:

The study will be performed as a controlled, open and non-randomized, stratified observational single center. The stratification factors will be pathology (PD\&AT) and internal classifications. Within each of the two basic strata, healthy matched controls related to gender and age (1:1) will be included. No internal classification will be used for PD, but AT will be stratified in:

  1. Patients with Nystagmus
  2. Patients without Nystagmus For each included patient, a gender- and age-matched HV will be included.

The main variables will be the variables recorded at the four Bulbicam tests. The standard neuro-ophthalmological variables included for PD and AT are Nystagmus, Smooth pursuit and Saccade Accurate.

Study procedure:

Participants, who fulfil the inclusion criteria; do not meet any of the exclusion criteria and willing to give informed consent to participate will receive an appointment for starting the study. During the first day of the study, the included patients will undergo a neuro-ophthalmological examination by a neurologist. Additionally, Bulbicam examination will be performed twice with a rest period of one hour between each registration.

The healthy controls will only undergo a standard examination and twice BulbiCam examination. The controls will only participate one day. The patients will participate two more days with two Bulbicam examinations per day.

All demographic data, social factors and history of disease will be recorded at screening. The general quality of life (QoL) questionnaires EQ-5D-5L developed by EuroQol will be recorded initially as individual baseline values.

The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be used for measuring and classifying the tolerability and toxicity at the end of each day of investigation.

Sample size:

Sixteen PD-patients and 16 AT-patients, equally divided between the internal pairs of strata, will be recruited from the participating hospital. For each included patient, one gender- and age-matched HC will be recruited. In total of 32 HC, 16 PD and 16 AT patients will be included in the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Ataxia, run by Meddoc at 1 site in Norway.

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 10 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 22 May 2024. 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 Norway. 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?

Nystagmus (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 30 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 22 May 2024.
