Patient's Feelings After Receiving a Diagnosis of Age-related Macular Degeneration (PANDA)

Ressenti du Patient au Moment de l'Annonce du Diagnostic de DMLA

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly population of the industrialized world. AMD is a progressive degenerative disease affecting the central area of the retina, responsible for distinct vision. Vision loss arises from aberrant new vessel growth which causes the accumulation of blood or fluid within the retina's thickness and eventually leads to permanent scarring. The two major forms of AMD are exudative, or neovascular or "wet", and non-exudative, or "dry".

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) represents the key modulator of the angiogenetic process and is involved in the pathophysiology of AMD. Anti VEGF therapies are used to treat wet-AMD.

After diagnosis and explanations of the practionner, the patients and their close relatives have still frequently many questions about the intravitreal injections, the prognosis, the risk of visual impairment, etc. Few teams have studied the modalities of diagnosis announcement and the understanding of the patients on the disease course.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feelings after the AMD diagnosis announcement as well as the understanding of the possibilities of treatment and the clinical surveillance.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

55 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Description of the patient's feelings
Time Frame: up to 1 month after diagnosis
A questionnaire with a list of different feelings: anxiety, distress, relief, resigned, guilty, etc. is proposed to the patient after AMD diagnosis. they can also explain their feelings by themselves.
up to 1 month after diagnosis

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
score of general satisfaction
Time Frame: up to 1 month after diagnosis
the patient will score their satisfaction on a numeric scale from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (extremely satisfied)
up to 1 month after diagnosis
score on a comprehension quiz on AMD
Time Frame: up to 1 month after diagnosis
up to 1 month after diagnosis
Score on a composite score evaluating the clarity of medical explanations
Time Frame: up to 1 month after diagnosis
up to 1 month after diagnosis
Score on a composite score evaluating the clarity of medical explanations
Time Frame: between 6 months and 1 year of follow-up

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
March 15, 2017

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
