Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of the Nanodropper Device on Pupillary Dilation (NCT NCT05274321)

NCT ID: NCT05274321

Last Updated: 2023-09-25

Results Overview

Cycloplegia is the paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye resulting in dilatation of the pupil and paralysis of accommodation. Cycloplegia is defined as the "change score." Change scores were calculated by subtracting the spherical equivalent value after dilation from the value before dilation for each eye.

Participant Flow

Children 18 years of age or younger undergoing pupillary dilation as part of a routine eye examination at the University of California, San Francisco, at the Pediatric Ophthalmology Clinic between August 4, 2021, and November 19, 2021 were assessed for eligibility. Children who did not show up to appointments or did not meet inclusion criteria were not enrolled in the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Before dilation and 30 minutes after dilation

Population: Participants received eye drops from the Nanodropper in one eye only and Standard of Care in the other eye.

Cycloplegia is the paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye resulting in dilatation of the pupil and paralysis of accommodation. Cycloplegia is defined as the "change score." Change scores were calculated by subtracting the spherical equivalent value after dilation from the value before dilation for each eye.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Before dilation and 30 minutes after dilation

Population: Participants received eye drops from the Nanodropper in one eye only and Standard of Care in the other eye.

The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris (the structure that gives our eyes their color). The diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of the pupil, which is shaped like a circle.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Before and 30 minutes after dilation

Population: Participants received eye drops from the Nanodropper in one eye only and Standard of Care in the other eye.

Pupillary constriction percentage was calculated by the pupillometer in response to a 180-micro watt flash: (maximum - minimum) / maximum

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Before and 30 minutes After Dilation

Intraocular pressure is the pressure, or force, inside of your eyes. Specifically, it's a measurement of the fluid pressure in your aqueous humor.
