Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The project aims to find mechanisms for the abnormal retinal blood flow that in diabetic patients often precedes any evidence of clinical retinopathy and may contribute to the development of retinopathy. Specifically, the projects tests the hypothesis that reduced retinal blood flow found in young patients with type 1 diabetes reflects increased resistance in the small vessels of the retina caused by the formation of small blood clots, called microthrombi; and that antiplatelet agents normalize the reduced retinal blood flow.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
