Overview

This study will perform a prospective, longitudinal analysis of clinical and imaging findings from normal controls and subjects with retinal vascular disease to better define the diagnostic imaging criteria that signify change in disease stage. This includes disease progression in early stages of disease or disease regression with appropriate standard-of-care treatment.

Description

The objective of this study is to perform a prospective, longitudinal analysis of clinical and imaging findings from normal controls and subjects with retinal vascular disease to better define the diagnostic imaging criteria that signify change in disease stage. This includes disease progression in early stages of disease or disease regression with appropriate standard-of-care treatment.

Subjects will be identified from healthy subjects (seen for screening eye exams) and diseased subjects undergoing standard-of-care treatment or screening at eye clinic locations. The study population will include subjects with retinal vascular disease including but not limited to diabetic retinopathy, hypertension, retinal vein/arterial occlusion, and macular degeneration. Subjects who are enrolled will undergo non-invasive, minimal risk, FDA approved diagnostic imaging procedures to identify vascular changes.

The study methods will include retrospective review and collection of clinically approved imaging data that is obtained through standard-of-care methods for subjects who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects who are identified in this manner will be asked to participate in a prospective study by each clinical study site.

The study end-points include the correlation of diagnostic imaging findings from OCT based images with fundus photographs, clinical disease stage and visual acuity.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
