Myopia Clinical Trial - The Influence of Atropine on Choroidal Thickness

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Atropine eye drops are increasingly prescribed for the management of progressive myopia or short-sightedness. A previous study suggested that the back of the eye or choroid may be a part of the mechanism by which it induces its effects. The choroid shows diurnal variation and the efficacy of atropine on myopia control in relationship to the patient's baseline choroidal thickness is unknown. Thus, the objective of this study is to provide data to characterize the influence of atropine on choroid thickness. The study aims are to:

1. Determine the effect of am or pm atropine application on choroid thickness

2. Determine the effect of atropine on choroid thickness in relationship to baseline thickness

Participants will be asked to attend a screening session and 13 study visits. Following the screening visit, participants will be scheduled to return for 4 visits across 12 hours (4 hour intervals starting from 8am) in a single day where eye shape measurements will be taken to characterize diurnal variations in eye shape.

Subjects will then be randomized to receive a drop of 1% atropine eye drops in both eyes in the morning or a night. Measurements of the shape of the front and back of the eye will be taken after approximately 1, 12, 24 and 96 hours after drop instillation. After a 2 week washout period, 1% atropine eye drops will be administered either in the morning or at night (the visit that was not previously scheduled) and measurements of the shape of the front and back of the eye will be taken after approximately 1, 12, 24 and 96 hours after drop instillation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
