What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at people with primary angle-closure glaucoma who need a specific type of eye surgery. The goal is to find out which patients are at higher risk for a rare but serious complication called ciliary block, where fluid builds up in the wrong part of the eye. Researchers will use standard eye imaging before surgery to measure the eye's structure and then track patients for 12 months after surgery. The results will help surgeons take extra precautions for high-risk patients.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Patients with Primary Angle-Closure Disease (PACD)-spanning PACS, PAC, and PACG-who require surgical intervention with phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis. Participants will be enrolled from the routine clinical care settings across multiple participating tertiary ophthalmic centers.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of Primary Angle-Closure Disease (PACD), including Primary Angle-Closure Suspect (PACS), Primary Angle-Closure (PAC), or Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma (PACG). 2. Clinical indication for phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation and goniosynechialysis (Phaco+GSL), due to poorly controlled intraocular pressure, extensive peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS), or the presence of a clinically significant cataract. 3. Ability to cooperate with required preoperative imaging examinations, including Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM), IOLMaster, and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Secondary angle closure (e.g., neovascular glaucoma, uveitic glaucoma, iridocorneal endothelial \[ICE\] syndrome, or intraocular tumors/cysts). 2. Specific lens abnormalities that confound anatomical assessment, including lens subluxation, hypermature intumescent cataract, or traumatic cataract. 3. Previous intraocular surgery, including glaucoma filtering surgeries (e.g., trabeculectomy, tube shunts) or vitreoretinal surgeries (Note: Previous laser peripheral iridotomy is permitted). 4. Use of systemic or topical medications known to affect ciliary body morphology or pupillary function (e.g., topiramate, cholinergic agonists) during the time of imaging. 5. Poor quality or uninterpretable preoperative UBM or OCT images due to corneal opacity, edema, or other media opacities. 6. Axial length shorter than 19mm.
