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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Suprachoroidal injection, a novel technique for delivering ocular therapies, may facilitate targeted therapeutic delivery to the choroidal and retinal structures than intravitreal injection. Yielding high levels of corticosteroid in the retinal and choroidal layers which was detectable for more than 3 months with limited exposure in the anterior segment. Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid formulated as an injectable suspension and has been evaluated in a number of trials to be 7.5 fold more potent anti-inflammatory than cortisone. Triamcinolone acetonide enhance tight junctions between endothelial cells thus reducing vessel leakage. It also has an angiostatic action by inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor and has a useful effect on many inflammatory retinal diseases. The recommended dose of Triamcinolone acetonide injection is 4 mg/0.1 mL which was administrated in this study. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of suprachoroidal Triamcinolone acetonide injection (SCTA) as adjunctive therapy in the management of Vogt-Koyanagi Harada's (VKH) multiple serous retinal detachment (RD) and evaluate best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure(IOP) and central foveal thickness (CFT) by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in patients diagnosed as VKH at ophthalmology clinic, Benha University, EGYPT and Ebsar eye center, Benha, EGYPT.

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

47 years to 52 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (LogMAR units)
Time Frame: 6 months after injection
Changes in vision from baseline upto 6 months follow up
6 months after injection

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
Central Foveal Thickness measured by Optical Coherence Tomography
Time Frame: Upto 6 months after SCTA injection
Changes in CFT during 6 months after injection
Upto 6 months after SCTA injection

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intraocular pressure measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry
Time Frame: 6 months after injection
