Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Twenty-four subjects, 12 without retinal disease (Cohort 1) and 12 with retinal disease (Cohort 2) will be recruited. Any subjects that do not comply with or complete the study protocol will be replaced to ensure that a total of 24 subjects complete the protocol. Subjects will be screened and recruited based on the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria outlined within this protocol. Subjects fulfilling the stated criteria and who are willing to comply must sign an informed consent prior form to study participation.

Who may be able to join

  • Subject must be 21 years of age or older.
  • Subjects recruited to Cohort 1 will have no known retinal disease except for refractive errors (-7.5 D to +7.5 diopters).Subjects who are recruited to Cohort 2 will have one or more of the following retinal pathologies: early and intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Geographic Atrophy, Diabetic Retinopathy (mild, moderate, severe), Macular Edema secondary to Diabetes, Retinal Vein Occlusion, Central Serous Retinopathy, Pattern Dystrophy, Epiretinal Membrane or Macular Hole.
  • Subjects who have signed an informed consent form.
  • Subjects who can comply with the protocol.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects younger than 21 years of age.
  • Subjects who cannot comply with the protocol.
  • Subjects who cannot complete the Simple Test procedures
  • Subjects who are not available to be testing 3 times during the day (Morning, Mid - Day, and Afternoon).
  • Subjects with visual acuity worse than 20/100 (Best Corrected).
  • Subjects with dense media opacities.
  • Ocular surgery anticipated on the day of the study visit.

About this study

To conduct a precision study to assess the microperimetry function of the Spectral OCT/SLO. The study will assess variability across measurements taken by three different operator-device configuration across clinical sites, variability between subjects within a given operator-device configuration, and variability within a subject for a single operator-device configuration.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Standard Deviation and Mean Test Results of Normal and With Pathology Participants Taken by 3 Different Operator-device Configurations

    A precision study was conducted that used 3 devices (each with a different operator). Each device was used to measure 4 normal subjects and 4 subjects with relevant eye pathology, with a total of 24 subject eyes (12 normal, 12 with pathology) measured across all three devices. For each subject, one eye was evaluated using 3 tests with repositioning at the start of each test. Test results were given in decibels which is the unit used in microperimetry testing. Overall mean and standard deviation in decibels were calculated for the two groups: normal and with pathology.

    Measured: 1 Month

  2. Repeatability of Microperimetry Tests in Normal and With Pathology Participants Based on 3 Microperimetry Tests Taken for Each Participant for a Given Operator-device Combination.

    A precision study was conducted that used 3 devices (each with a different operator). Each device was used to measure 4 normal subjects and 4 subjects with relevant eye pathology, with a total of 24 subject eyes (12 normal, 12 with pathology) measured across all three devices. Test results were given in decibels as that is the standard measurement in microperimetry testing. For each subject, one eye was evaluated using 3 microperimetry tests with repositioning at the start of each test. Overall Repeatability SD and Repeatability SD Limit were calculated for the two groups: normal and with pathology.

    Measured: 1 Month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Geographic Atrophy, run by Optos, PLC at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Nov 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Standard Deviation and Mean Test Results of Normal and With Pathology Participants Taken by 3 Different Operator-device Configurations (time frame: 1 Month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 May 2017.
