HOme Vision Monitoring in AREDS2 for Progression to Neovascular AMD Using the ForeseeHome Device (AREDS)

July 16, 2019 updated by: Notal Vision Ltd.

The HOME Study: HOme Vision Monitoring in AREDS2 for Progression to Neovascular AMD Using the ForeseeHome Device - (HOme Monitoring of the Eye)

The overall objective of this two arm randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to determine if home monitoring using the comprehensive visual field and telemedicine solution based on the ForeseeHome device in AREDS2 improves detection of progression to choroidal neovascularization (CNV) when compared with standard care.

Detailed Description

The overall objective of this two arm randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to determine if home monitoring using the comprehensive visual field and telemedicine solution based on the ForeseeHome device in AREDS2 (referred to as the ForeseeHome comprehensive solution) participants at high risk of progression to neovascular AMD improves detection of progression to choroidal neovascularization (CNV) when compared with standard care. The primary outcome of this study is presenting best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at the time of CNV diagnosis. Secondary outcomes include time to confirmed CNV diagnosis, lesion size, lesion location (extrafoveal, juxtafoveal, or subfoveal), lesion type (occult without classic, predominantly classic or minimally classic), sensitivity and specificity, and BCVA following three consecutive months of treatment and twelve months after the initial start of CNV treatment with an intravitreal anti-VEGF agent using either ranibizumab or bevacizumab. Outcomes will be ascertained via the following specific aims:

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

55 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Outcome: Change in Visual Acuity (LogMAR Letters) From Baseline to Detection of Choroidal Neovascularization
Time Frame: 2 years
Mean change in BCVA (logMAR letters) from baseline to the time of confirmed progression to CNV in the ForeseeHome device monitoring group compared to the standard care group.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Secondary Outcome: Patients Who Maintained 20/40 or Better Vision at Time of CNV Detection
Time Frame: 2 years
Percent of patients who maintained 20/40 or better vision at the time of CNV detection in each study arm
2 years
Secondary Outcome: Lesion Size (Total Lesion Area) at Time of Confirmed Progression to CNV
Time Frame: 2 years
Median lesion size (total lesion area) at time of confirmed progression to CNV as measured on fluorescein angiography (FA) will be compared between the two study arms. Lesion size was assessed, measured, and reported by optic disc areas, where 1 disc area = 2.54 mm^2.
2 years
Secondary Outcome: Lesion Size (CNV Area) at Time of Confirmed Progression to CNV
Time Frame: 2 years
Median lesion size (CNV area) at time of confirmed progression to CNV as measured on fluorescein angiography will be compared between the two study arms. Lesion size was assessed, measured, and reported by optic disc areas, where 1 disc area = 2.54 mm^2.
2 years
Secondary Outcome: Lesion Size (Fluid Area) at Time of Confirmed Progression to CNV
Time Frame: 2 years
Median lesion size (fluid area) at time of confirmed progression to CNV as measured on fluorescein angiography will be compared between the two study arms. Lesion size was assessed, measured, and reported by optic disc areas, where 1 disc area = 2.54 mm^2.
