Study summary

The aim of the study is to confirm that daily supplementation with a product containing a standardized combination of polyphenol-rich extracts has a protective effect against potential blue-light-induced damage to retinal cells.

Read the detailed description

Randomized, double-blind, parallel study conducted under medical supervision on a group of 54 volunteers exposed to blue-light for 6-8h a day. Patients receive one of the investigational products or placebo for 6 weeks. Study parameters: OCT (optical coherence tomography), Amsler test, Computerized Perimetry, Schirmer test. In addition, subjective symptoms will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) method and a Dry Eye-Related Quality-of-Life Questionnaire. The studied parameters will be measured before and after supplementation.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. DEQS (Dry Eye-Related Quality-of-Life) index

    Subjective symptom questionnaire assessment

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 weeks

  2. Visual Analogue Scale

    Subjective symptom assessment

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Optical Coherence Tomography

    An OCT provides cross sectional images of the retina to enable early detection and treatment of ocular disease

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 weeks

  2. Amsler test

    Amsler grid usually help detecting defects in central 20 degrees of the visual field

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 weeks

  3. Schirmer test,

    Schirmer test quantitatively measures the tear production by the lacrimal gland

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 weeks

  4. Computerized Perimetry

    Computerized Perimetry is used to evaluate visual function

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 weeks

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 Nov 18, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
