NCT07195864
The study will be a multicentric, retrospective, non-interventional medical chart review of patients with AK who initiated a treatment with 0.8 mg/ml polihexanide as part of the Spanish Medicines in Special Situations program, whether they fully completed the treatment or not. Baseline date is defined as the date of 0.8 mg/ml polihexanide initiation. The Study Period for each patient will be considered the period from the baseline to the conclusion of the treatment.
NCT06641882
This will be a non-interventional study with secondary use of data. The study will be a site-based retrospective review of medical chart of patients with AK who initiated and completed a treatment with 0.8 mg/ml polihexanide as part of a compassionate use program. Patientlevel data will be abstracted from medical chart of eligible patients at participating sites and imputed in an electronic case report form (eCRF). Baseline (Time 0) is the date of initiation of 0.8 mg/ml polihexanide. The study period is the period from T0 to the end of treatment. The clinical outcome needs to be confirmed at least 30 days after the conclusion of the treatment.
NCT06332703
Acanthamoeba keratitis, caused by the pathogen Acanthamoeba spp, is recognized worldwide as a severe ocular infection that can pose potential risks to vision. This observational retrospective and single-center study, of exploratory nature, aims to determine the possibility of identifying patterns that may be useful for future rapid diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis from confocal images, leveraging the normality of corneal examination and the high specificity and sensitivity of computational models. The data will be based on patients who have been confirmed positive through laboratory tests with proven effectiveness in detecting the infection. The laboratory tests considered for the division of patients into their respective groups are bacterial examination, PCR examination, and culture examination. Patients were divided into two groups, the first comprising patients positive for Acanthamoeba infection, while the second comprised patients negative for Acanthamoeba but positive for other pathogens. The study will last for 18 months. The cohort under study includes 151 patients from the IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital who underwent the aforementioned examinations, of which 76 cases will be included in the group of patients positive for Acanthamoeba and 75 in the group of controls positive for other pathogens. The confocal images of this cohort will be fed into artificial intelligence software. To evaluate the model, the test set will be used, and the AI model's ability will be assessed using the most commonly used metrics in the field of computer vision such as accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and f1-score; culminating in a comprehensive evaluation of the model.
