From the registry’s dates

  • Primary completion was expected by Sep 2023, 3 years 1 month ago, but the record still lists the study as recruiting.
  • Started Jul 2022; still recruiting 4 years 4 months later.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Early Visual Functions in Patients at Risk of Developing Cerebral Visual Impairment. A Pilot Study

    The score of the functional visual assessment will be obtained at neonatal age and at 1-3-6-9-12-18-24-36 months of life will be analysed at each age and compared to neurodevelopment findings using different scales according to age. These results will be related to the MRI total score (obtained by the sum of scores by site: cortex, basal ganglia, white matter and cerebellum, normal (0), mild abnormal (1), severely abnormal (2)).

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Correlation betwwen functional visual assessment score to MRI score

    Results of functional visual assessment will be related to the MRI total score (obtained by the sum of scores by site: cortex, basal ganglia, white matter and cerebellum, normal (0), mild abnormal (1), severely abnormal (2)).

    Time frame: 5 years

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2023, 14 months after the start.

Of 51 non-industry observational studies under Vision Disorders, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 42. This study's planned 14 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 58 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 52.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 18, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
