Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the myopia control effect of orthokeratology and 0.01% atropine sequential treatment in children and adolescents, as compared to continuous treatment with orthokeratology.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Myopia constitutes a major threat to vision health globally for its increasing prevalence and irriversible blinding complications. It is crucial to effectively intervene subjects with progressive myopia to reduce risks of myopic pathologies in later life.

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) is the first-line intervention for myopia control, with an efficacy of slowing axial elongation by 43-63%. However, the efficacy decreases over time. Sequential treatment strategy, which switches myopia control interventions at some intervals, has a potential to increase myopia control efficacy regarding the whole treatment period, compared to applying one intervention throughout. However, there lacks evidence supporting the benefit of this treatment strategy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of orthokeratology and 0.01% atropine sequential treatment on myopia control in children and adolescents, as compared to continuous treatment with orthokeratology, using a multicenter randomized controlled trial design. Subjects will be randomly assigned into either ortho-k and 0.01% atropine sequential treatment group or ortho-k continuous treatment group. Their axial length will be monitored over two years. Changes in axial length in the two groups will be compared.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ortho-k and 0.01% atropine sequential treatment

Participants will be treated with ortho-k lenses during the first year, and swiched to recieve 0.01% atropine twice a day in the second year.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ortho-k lenses

Intervention Type DEVICE

Ortho-k lenses will be administered nightly.

0.01% Atropine

Intervention Type DRUG

0.01% Atropine will be administrated twice a day with an interval of about 12 hours. Drop into the conjunctival sac and immediately compress the lacrimal sac of the inner canthus for 2-3 minutes.

Ortho-k continuous treatment

Participants will be treated with ortho-k lenses throughout, during the 2-year study period.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ortho-k lenses

Intervention Type DEVICE

Ortho-k lenses will be administered nightly.
