Population studies show that only 10% of Chinese rural-dwellers with DR receive therapy. The current standard approach to treatment of DR often requires patients to return for multiple examinations over years, before they reach trial-proven criteria for treatment. This long process is ill-suited to support good compliance with care in low-resource settings. Our recent published review suggests that earlier PRP treatment, which could reduce the burden of compliance, may be clinically effective and cost effective, but the current evidence base is insufficient to make a firm recommendation."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults aged \\>= 18 years with untreated DR at severe or very severe NPDR stage in either one or both eyes, according to the clinical opinion of the investigator.\n* Sufficiently clear ocular media to allow visualization of the retina and retinal photography in either eye.\n* Capable of giving informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* DR at later stage of retinopathy than severe or very severe (eg, two or more of the 4-2-1 criteria are met) NPDR in either eye, but a patient may be enrolled if one eye has severe or very severe NPDR and the fellow eye has PRP-treated PDR and has been stable after treatment.\n* Clinically significant macular edema in either eye.\n* Dense cataracts or other media opacity preventing visualization of the retina in the eye.\n* History of previous surgical or laser treatment for DR or other retinal conditions in a study eye, including history of anti-VEGF or corticosteroid injection or focal laser for DME within 6 months, or any history of scleral buckle, vitrectomy or other retinal detachment repair.\n* History of other retinal vascular disorders including CRVO, CRAO, BRVO, BRAO in the study eye.\n* Previous cataract or glaucoma surgery is specifically allowed if performed ≥ 6 weeks prior to enrollment.\n* Pregnancy.\n* Severe renal insufficiency treated with hemodialysis treatment, kidney transplant, pancreatic transplant, and intensive insulin therapy initiated within 4 months.\n* Nystagmus, unable to cooperate with laser treatment.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02956759', 'briefTitle': 'Early Laser Treatment for Diabetic Eye Disease in China : A Pilot Randomized Trial', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Sun Yat-sen University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Early Laser Treatment for Diabetic Eye Disease in China: The PEARL Pilot Randomized Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'ZOC-PEARL STUDY'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Early Intervention', 'description': 'pan-retinal photocoagulation laser treatment applied to the study eye within 2-4 weeks.', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Pan-retinal photocoagulation laser treatment']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Standard Care', 'description': 'pan-retinal photocoagulation laser treatment deferred until the onset of any PDR.', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Pan-retinal photocoagulation laser treatment']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Pan-retinal photocoagulation laser treatment', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'otherNames': ['PRP laser treatment'], 'description': 'PRP initially consists of 1200 - 1600 burns given over 2-3 sessions and separated by2-3weeks by 532-argon laser machine.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Early Intervention', 'Standard Care']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '510000', 'city': 'Guangzhou', 'state': 'Guangdong', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'China', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Nathan Congdon, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'ncongdon1@gmail.com', 'phone': '86-020-87682342'}, {'name': 'Nathan Congdon, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 23.11667, 'lon': 113.25}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Wenhui Zhu, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'dctzwh@139.com', 'phone': '86-20-87755766', 'phoneExt': '8400'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Nathan Congdon, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'UNDECIDED'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Sun Yat-sen University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': "Queen's University, Belfast", 'class': 'OTHER'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Congdon Nathan', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Sun Yat-sen University'}}}}
