This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study tests whether showing cartoon video clips and using character voices during a visual field test can help children aged 5-8 stay focused and give more reliable results. Twenty children with certain eye conditions will be tested twice, once with the cartoon intervention and once with standard care. The goal is to see if the engaging method reduces test errors and improves diagnosis of vision loss.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cartoon video fixation target and audio instructions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make visual field testing more reliable for young children, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of vision problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 20 children, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not significantly improve test reliability.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
