October 7, 2024 updated by: Ying Jie, MD, Beijing Tongren Hospital

A Real-world Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of 650nm Low-intensity Single-wavelength Red Light in the Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 650nm low-level red-light irradiation for myopia control and prevention in children under less restrictive conditions than randomized controlled trials. Participants included children(aged 7 to 18 years, spherical equivalent error of 0.5D or below) who are already myopic at recruitment, and those who are of Emmetropia or low hyperopia.

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

This multicenter real world study will be conducted in at least 100 hospitals: Beijing Tongren Hospital will be the initiator of the study, other hospitals such as the Capital Institute of Pediatrics will serve as sub-centers. The whole study will last for three years.The investigators will perform data analysis at 6 months follow-up, one-year follow-up, and two-year follow-up. Participants who used 650 nm low-level red-light would be recruited. This kind of intervention will be integrated into a headworn device. This device could be used for treatment of myopia or amblyopia, and is safe for the eyes and has been verified by the Chinese market supervision and administration department.

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

  • Child
  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
650 nm low-level red-light
Children who are exposed to the 650 nm low-level red-light will be recruited into the cohort, the exposure factor is red-light irradiation. The study does not give interventions, but only recruit children who received or who is receiving the 650 nm low-level red-light intervention for observation.
Device: 650 nm low-level red-light
Typically, children who uses the 650 nm low-level red-light will be recruited into this study. The use of any other myopia intervention is not restricted except for low concentrations of atropine. Because atropine will cause pupils dilated, the amount of light entering the eye can not be controlled, and red-light is a laser, to be safe, we need to take certain consideration of the amount of light-entering. Participants receive the 650 nm low-level red-light intervention not because they are enrolled in a study, they would receive the intervention in the same manner and intensity if they were not enrolled in the study.

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

Time Frame: Baseline, six-month follow-up, one-year follow-up, two-year follow-up

Time Frame: Baseline, six-month follow-up, one-year follow-up, two-year follow-up
Children's pupil were dilated using Mydrin-P eye drops, and then the refractive error was measured using an autorefractor. the two measurements (axial length and spherical equivalent error) will be aggregated to arrive at one reported value through the following way: axial enlongation will be defined as progress in myopia, decrease in spherical equivalent error will be defined as progress in myopia too.

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.
