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 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Primary Care Clinic

Who may be able to join

  • Males or females 50 years of age and older diagnosed to have advanced dry AMD with geographic atrophy.
  • Geographic atrophy lesions should:
  • Not be greater than 5 mm at the widest diameter. The entire lesion(s) should fit into the 6x6 mm scan area of the Cirrus HD-OCT.
  • Not be smaller than 1.25 mm2.

  • Able and willing to give consent and follow study instructions.

Who cannot join

  • History of retinal surgery, laser photocoagulation, and/or radiation therapy to the eye.
  • Evidence of other retinal diseases of the eye, including wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, or significant vitreomacular traction.
  • Thick media opacity or inability to fixate that precludes obtaining acceptable scans.
  • Concomitant use of hydrochloroquine or chloroquine.
  • Unable to make the required study visits.
  • Unable to give consent or follow study instructions.

About this study

The objective of this study is to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of the Cirrus HD-OCT measurement of illumination areas under the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single site study. Ocular history and examination will be conducted on consented subjects to determine further participation in the study. The study will be divided into two phases. In Phase 1, the inter-device variability of Cirrus HD-OCT measurements of illumination areas under the RPE will be determined. In Phase 2, the inter-operator variability of Cirrus HD-OCT measurements of illumination areas under the RPE will be determined. In each of these phases, the Macular Cube 200 x 200 scan and the Macular Cube 512 x 128 scan will be evaluated.

    Measured: Single visit observation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Coefficient of variation of the closest distance to fovea

    Measured: Single visit observation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Advanced Dry AMD With Geographic Atrophy, run by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc. at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 1 Jul 2013. 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 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?

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?

Coefficient of variation for area of increased illumination under the RPE (mm^2) (time frame: Single visit observation). 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 1 Jul 2013.
