April 9, 2019 updated by: Haotian Lin, Sun Yat-sen University

Secondary Intraocular Lens Implantation in Pediatric Patients: Minimal Invasive Surgery vs. Traditional Cataract Surgery for Treating Congenital Cataracts

This prospective, non-randomized controlled study aiming at comparing the prognosis of minimal invasive lens surgery and traditional cataract surgery for treating congenital cataracts after the patient receives secondary intraocular artificial lens (IOL) implantation.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Pediatric patients received minimal invasive surgery and traditional lens removal surgery (anterior capsulorhexis and irrigation/aspiration and posterior capsulorhexis and anterior vitrectomy) are enrolled. The patients are assigned to two groups according to the strategy of primary surgery: Group I: the participants received minimal invasive surgery, while in Group II, the participants received a traditional cataract surgery. Investigators perform a secondary intraocular lens implantation for the patients. Investigators compare the visual acuity, incidence of high intraocular pressure, incidence of visual axis opacification, uveitis and iris/pupil abnormality between two groups after the first and the second surgery, aiming at comparing the prognosis of minimal invasive lens surgery and traditional cataract surgery for treating congenital cataracts.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

2 years to 6 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: minimal invasive surgery and secondary IOL implantation
Procedure: minimal invasive surgery and secondary IOL implantation
We decreased the size of the capsulorhexis opening to 1.0-1.5 mm in diameter and moved the location of the capsulorhexis to the peripheral area of the lens instead of the central area. A 0.9 mm phacoemulsification probe was used to remove the lens contents and/or cortical opacities. Secondary IOL implantation: implant the IOL either into the capsule bag or fix at the ciliary sulcus.
Active Comparator: traditional cataract surgery and secondary IOL implantation
Procedure: traditional cataract surgery and secondary IOL implantation

traditional cataract surgery: anterior continuous capsulorhexis + irrigation/aspiration + posterior capsulorhexis + anterior vitrectomy (ACCC+ I/A + PCCC + Anti-vit).

Secondary IOL implantation: implant the IOL either into the capsule bag or fix at the ciliary sulcus.

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
Best corrected visual acuity
Time Frame: recorded at each follow-up (one week, one month, three months, six months after surgery, and every six months thereafter)
measured using the Teller's acuity card, the Lea symbol visual acuity chart or the ETDRS chart according to the patient's age.
recorded at each follow-up (one week, one month, three months, six months after surgery, and every six months thereafter)

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
Visual axis opacification
Time Frame: recorded at each follow-up (one week, one month, three months, six months after surgery, and every six months thereafter)
Visual axis opacification was recorded by standardized slit lamp retroillumination.
recorded at each follow-up (one week, one month, three months, six months after surgery, and every six months thereafter)
High intraocular pressure
Time Frame: recorded at each follow-up (one week, one month, three months, six months after surgery, and every six months thereafter)
measured with Tono-pen tonometer
recorded at each follow-up (one week, one month, three months, six months after surgery, and every six months thereafter)
Bi-ocular visual function
Time Frame: The examination is performed when the patient is four years old and older, once a year.
determined with synoptophore
The examination is performed when the patient is four years old and older, once a year.
