NCT ID NCT07364929

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 how glaucoma affects sleep, mood, alertness, and thinking by changing how the eye responds to light. Researchers will compare 120 adults with glaucoma to healthy volunteers aged 45-75. Participants will wear a sleep tracker and visit a lab to test their thinking after exposure to standard indoor light and a full-spectrum light that mimics daylight. The goal is to see if light-based treatments can improve quality of life for people with glaucoma.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Full-spectrum light exposure
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to simple light-based interventions to improve sleep, mood, and alertness in people with glaucoma.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational and interventional study with a small sample size. The light exposure is short-term, so any benefits may not last or apply to daily life.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 120 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

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.

Who can take part

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

Ages

45 to 75 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with glaucoma must meet all of the inclusion criteria to participate in this study. * Patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), as indicated by Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) mean deviation (VFMD) scores better than -12 dB in at least one eye during their most recent clinic visit. * Patients having spared central vision. * Patients aged 45 to 75 years old. * Patients with a best-corrected visual acuity better than 6/12 * English-speaking patients Healthy controls must meet all of the inclusion criteria to participate in this study: * Participants aged 50 to 70 years old. * Participants with a best-corrected visual acuity better than 6/12 * Normal ophthalmic examination * English-speaking participants Exclusion Criteria: * All subjects (patients and controls) meeting any of the exclusion criteria at baseline will be excluded from participation: * Participants with myopia exhibiting a refractive error exceeding -8.00 diopters (D) * Participants with a history of complicated previous intraocular surgery * Participants taking alpha-adrenergic agonist eye drops or other systemic medications or drugs that could affect the pupillary response * Participants with any past or current ocular condition (i.e., age-related retinal diseases (e.g., age-related macular degeneration), retinal pigment epithelium diseases (e.g., Best's disease), diabetic retinopathy, or other optic or generalized neuropathies, significant ocular trauma, or any eye condition affecting fixation (eg. Nystagmus)). * Participants diagnosed with cataracts at NS3+ (Nuclear Sclerosis) and above, as well as those with Posterior Subcapsular (PSC) cataracts * Participants with clinically diagnosed psychiatric or neurologic disorders, including cognitive impairment or dementia * Participants with diagnosed mood disorders * Participants engaged in night shift work within the past three months, are currently using sleeping pills, or have recently travelled across timezones within a month prior to the study * Participants with obstructive sleep apnea * Participants with abnormal auditory function * Participants with impaired color vision * Pre-menopausal women (last menstrual period \< 1 year) (If applicable) * Patients having unilateral glaucoma, congenital glaucoma, non-glaucomatous optic neuropathy, abnormal central vision * Diabetics on treatment
