Immediate Office Probing vs Deferred Facility Probing for Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in Children 6 to <10 Months Old
NCT00780741 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is: To determine the cost-effectiveness of treating NLDO using immediate office probing compared with deferred probing in a facility setting. As part of the primary objective, the study will determine the proportion of eyes experiencing spontaneous resolution among subjects randomized to the deferred probing group. The secondary objectives are: 1. To determine the success proportion for eyes undergoing immediate office probing as an initial procedure. 2. To determine the success proportion for eyes undergoing deferred facility probing as an initial procedure.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00780741
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00780741 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 220 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Jaeb Center for Health Research, which has 134 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Immediate Office Probing is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00780741 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Idaho. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
