Telemedicine in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

April 26, 2021 updated by: The New York Eye & Ear Infirmary

Pivotal Trial of an Automated AI-based System for Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Late Age Related Macular Degeneration in Primary Care Settings.

This study seeks to evaluate a system for the automated early detection of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD is a condition in which there is breakdown of the macula of the eye, the part of the retina that is responsible for sharp, central vision. We will take pictures of subjects' eyes using an automated camera. These photographs will be securely transmitted and and then analyzed by a computer program which has been developed in other studies. The outcome of the computer program analysis will be compared with human analysis of these same pictures. If the computer analysis is has good enough accuracy, then this computer system could be used for wide-scale screening for AMD.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

iPredict,an AI and telemedicine based software which used individual's color fundus image for early diagnosis of AMD and predict if an individual is at risk of progression to late AMD. iPredict platform integrates the server-side programs (the image analysis and deep-learning modules for AMD severity screening and prediction) and local remote computer/mobile devices (for collecting patient data and images). DRS plus camera will be used in the doctor's office. The remote devices will upload images and data to the server to analyze and screen AMD automatically. The telemedicine platform has been developed for web-based platform. The automatic analysis will be performed on the server, and a report will be sent to the patient/remote devices with an individual's AMD stage as referable or non-referable AMD, and a risk prediction score of developing late AMD (within a minute), and further recommendations to visit a nearby ophthalmologist.

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

50 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants who fit the eligibility inclusion criteria and not the exclusion criteria.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects will be recruited if willing and able to comply with clinic visit and study-related procedures, and provide signed informed consent
  2. Gender of Subjects: Both males and females will be invited to participate.
  3. Age of Subjects: Patients will be over 50 years and older

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Unable to provide informed consent.

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
Sensitivity of identification of referable and non-referable AMD for early diagnosis of AMD
Time Frame: 2 years
Sensitivity of identification of referable and non-referable AMD for early diagnosis of AMD using the iPredict's AI-based AMD screening software utilizing color fundus imaging.
2 years
Specificity of identification of referable and non-referable AMD for early diagnosis of AMD using the iPredict's AI-based AMD screening software utilizing color fundus imaging.
Time Frame: 2 years
Using the gold standard (i.e., the ophthalmologist's grading), the sensitivity and specificity are calculated as: Sens=TP/(TP+FN) Spec=TN/(TN+FP) Where TP is the number of true positives (referable AMD subjects correctly classified), FN is the number of false negatives (referable AMD subjects incorrectly classified as non-referable), TN is the number of true negatives (non-referable subjects correctly classified), and FP is the number of false positives (non-referable AMD subjects incorrectly classified as referable AMD).
