March 11, 2026 updated by: Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University

Safety and Efficacy of Blue Star MAX-5 Lenses in Mvopia Control: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The goal of this randomised controlled clinical trial is to compare the effects of a new type of concentric columnar microstructure lens and single-vision spectacle lenses on myopia progression in Chinese children aged 8-11 years with refractive error ranging from -0.50D to -6.00D. Participants will wear spectacles and receive follow-up examinations every half year.

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

  • Child

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
Changes of spherical equivalent refraction (SER) at two years
Time Frame: 2 years
The difference of SER (Diopter) at two years compared with baseline SER. SER will be measured after cycloplegia.
2 years

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
Changes of axial length (AL) at two years
Time Frame: 2 years
The difference of AL (mm) at two years compared with baseline AL. AL will be measured by IOLMaster-700.
2 years
Visual scale score at two years
Time Frame: 2 years
Visual scale score measured by the Chinese version of the pediatric refractive error profile2 (PREP2) is scaled from 0 (poor quality of life) to 100 (good quality of life).
2 years
Incidence of adverse event during study period
Time Frame: 2 years
Adverse event is a comprehensive qualitative outcome measure that will be evaluated based on the participants' symptoms and signs, intraocular pressure, slit lamp and fundus examinations, as well as lens and frame damage. The evaluation will be conducted every six months according to the predetermined definition of abnormalities in the above examinations.
2 years

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
Change of lens thickness (LT) at two years
Time Frame: 2 years
The difference of LT (mm) at two years compared with baseline LT. LT will be measured by IOLMaster-700.

Change of corneal power (CP) at two years
Time Frame: 2 years
The difference of CP (diopter) at two years compared with baseline CP. CP will be measured by IOLMaster-700.

Best corrected visual acuity at two years
Time Frame: 2 years
Best corrected visual acuity will be measured at baseline and two years by EDTRS visual acuity chart.
2 years
Binocular visual function at two years

Binocular visual function which is a qualitative outcome assessed by a series of tests will be measured every half year.
2 years
Change of choroidal thickness at two years
