Effect of MEMOPTIC on Visual Field of Patients Followed for a Chronic Open-angle Glaucoma

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Open-angle Glaucoma; Visual Field
• Interventions: Drug: usual treatment of glaucoma; Drug: MEMOPTIC

• Registration Number: NCT04499157
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens

Brief Summary

Open-angle glaucoma is a degeneration of the optic nerve, highlighted by campimetric alterations, and wose only current therapeutic target is the lowering of the intra-ocular pressure (using eye drops, surgery or laser). MEMOPTIC is a tablet combining citicoline, magnesium and Gingko biloba, which have a neuroprotective effect already used in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease for example. Citicoline has also shown several promising results in ophthalmological diseases (glaucoma, amblyopia or more recently in ischemic optic neuropathies). The citicoline used in eye drops (NEURODROP) has already shown results on the preservation of the vision of glaucomatous patients.

The purpose of this project is to determine if MEMOPTIC can have an effect, in addition to the conventional treatments, in the preservation of vision of patients treated for an open-angle glaucoma.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Variation of visual field of open angle-glaucoma patients with MEMOPTIC treatment	from day 0 to 2 years	Variation of visual field of open angle-glaucoma patients with MEMOPTIC treatment versus visual field of open angle-glaucoma patients without MEMOPTIC treatment. Visual field is measure with METROVISION Visual Field 24-2, a full field projection perimeter entirely compatible with the Goldmann standard and modern perimetry standard. It allows high resolution static perimetry as well as kinetic perimetry with automated and manual modes. Automated static perimetry is one of the methods used to screen and follow up patients who have glaucoma. It consists of approximately 100 quantitative threshold measures that permit evaluation of retinal sensitivity. Each measure is standardized in a population free of ocular disease, and two simple statistics are calculated: mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD). These indices are widely used in glaucoma clinical trials and patient follow-up.
