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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 followed 609 nearsighted adults who had lens surgery to see if a natural eye change called posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) affects their risk of retinal detachment. Participants were grouped by whether they had PVD before surgery or not, and were monitored for up to 5 years. The goal was to better predict retinal detachment risk in nearsighted patients after lens surgery.

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.

Who is studied

Study population: target 618. The participants will be selected by the clinical investigators at several ophthalmological centres in Austria, Belgium, Spain, Norway and the Netherlands. As the study population is already scheduled for cataract surgery / refractive lens exchange, recruitment will be performed directly in these centres at the pre-assessment visits. At this visit, optical biometry is performed and patients with suitable axial eye lengths will be screened. If all inclusion and no exclusion criteria are met the patients will be asked to participate in the trial.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Minimum 21 years of age * Patients scheduled for lens surgery with an axial eye length of 25.0 mm or more * Availability, willingness, sufficient cognitive awareness to comply with examination procedures * Ability to sign informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with combined surgery (e.g. combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy or trabeculectomy or DSAEK) * Patients with previous intraocular surgery (except any kind of laser surgery e.g. retinopexy, refractive laser surgery) * Patients with recurrent severe anterior or posterior segment inflammation or uveitis of unknown aetiology, or any disease producing an inflammatory reaction in the eye * Any ophthalmological pathology with the potential to compromise the measurements (e.g. mature/very dense cataract, fixation difficulties) * Penetrating ocular trauma * Previous history of retinal detachment * Patient is pregnant, plans to become pregnant, is lactating or has another condition associated with the fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes * Patients participating in another study
