  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects aged ≥ 50 years old with normal macular thickness, center-involving macular edema due to wAMD, diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion.

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥50.

  • Group 1: Macula with normal thickness [central subfield thickness (CST): <305μm in women, and <320μm in men as measured by Heidelberg Spectralis SD-OCT in at least one eye. Patients diagnosed with dry AMD are eligible for enrollment into Group 1. No history of wAMD, DR, or RVO in either eye
  • Group 2 and Group 3, in at least one and the same eye: History of center-involving macular edema due to wAMD (Group 2); or DR or RVO (Group 3); Macular edema on SD-OCT with CST ≥305 μm in women, and ≥320μm in men as measured by Heidelberg Spectralis SD-OCT.

Who cannot join

  • History of corneal refractive surgery [e.g., laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), radial keratotomy (RK)] in the study eye(s)
  • History of epiretinal membrane, vitreomacular traction, or macular hole in the study eye(s)
  • Participation in any study using an investigational drug within 30 days of screening or an investigational device within 60 days of screening
  • Refractive error within defined limits
  • History of photocoagulation laser scar or other retinal scar in the central 3 mm of the macula, in the study eye(s)

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the RHMS-RTM retinal thickness measurements

    To evaluate the ability of the RHMS-RTM device to measure retinal thickness

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Repeatability of RHMS-RTM retina thickness measurements

    To assess repeatability of the RHMS-RTM device

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Comparison of retinal thickness measurements between the RHMS-RTM and the SD-OCT

    To evaluate the agreement of measurements by the RHMS-RTM and SD-OCT

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Intraretinal and subretinal fluid detection

    To evaluate the feasibility of intra- and sub-retinal fluid detection

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Macular Edema and Macular Degeneration, run by Kubota Vision Inc. at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 18 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluation of the RHMS-RTM retinal thickness measurements (time frame: 1 day). 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 18 Feb 2021.
