Study summary

Comparison of corneal topography based on oct OCT principle (CASIA2) with Pentacam and Scheimpflug-based biomechanical devices (Corvis ST) in screening and diagnosing keratoconus; and evaluation of the consistency with Pentacam in measuring corneal parameters (such as curvature and thickness).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. screening and diagnosis ability

    Evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of parameters measured by CASIA2, Pentacam in diagnosing keratoconus using Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), and compare the Ectasia Screening Similarity(ESS)and D-value diagnostic efficacy using Area under the ROC curve (AUROC). Use the Delong test to compare the accuracy of various parameters in diagnosing early keratoconus.

    Time frame: one year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Measurement consistency

    The independent sample T-test is used to compare inter- group differences in baseline data. Use independent sample T-test and One-way ANOVA to evaluate the consistency of the measurement results (anterior and posterior corneal curvature, corneal refractive index, CCT) obtained by CASIA2 and Pentacam.Finally, the ultimate outcome(such ad:K1 K2 KMax CCT) indicates that the P-value between the two devices is less than 0.05 and ICC-value is more than 0.75.

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 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2024, 7 months after the start.

Of 33 non-industry observational studies under Keratoconus, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 204. This study's planned 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 36 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 95.

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 Nov 30, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
