March 6, 2024 updated by: Iran University of Medical Sciences

Traumatic Optic Neuropathy Treatment Trial 2; Efficacy of Different Doses of Erythropoietin. A Multicenter, Double Blind RCT

After introducing intravenous erythropoietin (EPO) as an option for treatment of patients with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy in 2011 and publishing non inferiority trial in Oct.2017), TONTT2 is aiming to find out the best dose and timing of EPO administration in this group of patients.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

Patients with TON will be visited. After being eligible to enter the study and obtaining informed consent, they will be randomly assigned into 3 groups of different total dose of intravenous administration of EPO to which patients and outcome assessors will be masked. They will be assessed at different follow up time periods with the last follow up of at least 3 months.

Phase

Phase

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
Change in Mean LogMAR Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from 20/20 to no light perception (NLP) as assessed by Snellen visual acuity chart and analyzed based on mean LogMAR change.
Time Frame: Before treatment and on day 1,2,3, 7, 30, and 90 days after the treatment and through study completion, an average of 24 months
Best corrected Visual acuity is measured (Snellen eye chart) and recorded as 20/20-20/25, 20/30, 20/40, 20, 50, 20/70, 20/100, 20/200 and then counting finger (CF), hand motion (HM), light perception (LP), and no light perception (NLP)
Before treatment and on day 1,2,3, 7, 30, and 90 days after the treatment and through study completion, an average of 24 months

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
Change in Mean Log Unit of Relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) from 0.3 to 1.8 log unit as assessed by Neutral density filter
Time Frame: Before treatment and on day 1,2,3, 7, 30, and 90 days after the treatment and through study completion, an average of 24 months
RAPD will be measured based on six log unit of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5,and 1.8 in which the higher the number the higher the severity score of RAPD.
Before treatment and on day 1,2,3, 7, 30, and 90 days after the treatment and through study completion, an average of 24 months
Change in Mean number of visible color plates in Color vision test book. It is from 14/14 to 0/14 as assessed by Ishihara 14-plate color test book
Time Frame: Before treatment and on day 1,2,3, 7, 30, and 90 days after the treatment and through study completion, an average of 24 months
Using Ishihara 14-plate color vision test book, the color vision will be recorded as a fraction of 14 plates; e.g. 10/14. Patients with lower than 20/200 vision will have 0/14 since they can not read the color plates.
Before treatment and on day 1,2,3, 7, 30, and 90 days after the treatment and through study completion, an average of 24 months
Number of patients with treatment related adverse effects as assessed by history taking (change in mood, vertigo, faint), examination (blood pressure) and blood tests (CBC, BUN, Cr., K, Na, PT, PTT, INR, Ca., Ph)
Time Frame: before treatment and on day 1, 2 and 3 after treatment.
history taking (change in mood, vertigo, faint), examination (blood pressure) and blood tests (CBC, BUN, Cr., K, Na, PT, PTT, INR, Ca., Ph) will be performed before treatment and on day 1, 2 and 3 after treatment.
before treatment and on day 1, 2 and 3 after treatment.
