Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Binocular Computer Activities for Treatment of Amblyopia (NCT NCT02200211)
NCT ID: NCT02200211
Last Updated: 2019-02-27
Results Overview
Monocular distance visual acuity (VA) in current refractive correction (if required) in each eye by a certified examiner using the electronic Amblyopia Treatment Study single-surround HOTV (ATS-HOTV) visual acuity protocol for children \<7 years and the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinoscopy Study (E-ETDRS) visual acuity protocol for children ≥ 7 years on a study-certified acuity tester displaying single surrounded optotypes. For the younger cohort, the level of visual acuity is analyzed in the log of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR) scale (approximate range: -0.2 to 1.7) such that higher scores indicate poorer VA. Change in VA is computed as logMAR lines (positive values indicate improvement), defined as the difference between the enrollment and 16-week acuities (logMAR) multiplied by 10.

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeksPopulation: Analysis included participants with at least one follow-up visit (completed within the analysis window). There were 6 participants (4 in the binocular group, 2 in the patching group) who were excluded from the time course analysis because they did not have any follow-up exams.
Monocular distance visual acuity (VA) in current refractive correction (if required) in each eye by a certified examiner using the electronic Amblyopia Treatment Study single-surround HOTV (ATS-HOTV) visual acuity protocol for children \<7 years and the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinoscopy Study (E-ETDRS) visual acuity protocol for children ≥ 7 years on a study-certified acuity tester displaying single surrounded optotypes. For the younger cohort, the level of VA is analyzed in the log of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR) scale (approximate range: -0.2 to 1.7, higher values indicate poorer VA) and change in VA from baseline as logMAR lines (positive values indicate improvement), defined as the difference between the enrollment and follow-up acuities (logMAR) multiplied by 10.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and 16 weeksPopulation: Visual acuity analyses included only data from participants who completed the 16-week visit within the predefined analysis window (14 to \<20 weeks after randomization). Formal subgroup analyses are adjusted for baseline covariates of visual acuity and age.
Monocular distance visual acuity (VA) in current refractive correction (if required) in each eye by a certified examiner using the electronic Amblyopia Treatment Study single-surround HOTV (ATS-HOTV) visual acuity protocol for children \<7 years and the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinoscopy Study (E-ETDRS) visual acuity protocol for children ≥ 7 years on a study-certified acuity tester displaying single surrounded optotypes. For the younger cohort, the level of VA is analyzed in the log of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR) scale (previously defined) and change in VA from baseline as logMAR lines (previously defined, positive values indicate improvement), For both descriptive and formal subgroup analyses, all subgroup factors were pre-specified except for baseline stereoacuity (nil, better than nil). We performed post hoc descriptive analyses to explore treatment effect by baseline age (5 to \<7 yrs, 7 to \<13 yrs) and prior amblyopia treatment (yes/no).

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 16 weeksPopulation: The analysis included all participants who completed a 16-week exam regardless of whether or not the exam was completed within the pre-specified analysis window.
Stereoacuity was tested at near in current refractive correction. Stereoacuity scores (measure as seconds of arc) were calculated based on the Randot Butterfly (scores: 2000, Nil) and Randot Preschool stereoacuity (scores: 800, 400, 200, 100, 60 and 40) test methods. Lower scores indicate better stereoacuity. Results of the Randot Butterfly test were analyzed as 2000 seconds of arc (if correct response). Nil was assigned a score of 4000 seconds of arc and was defined as (1) an incorrect response on the butterfly in absence of a correct response on the 800 seconds of arc level of the Randot Preschool stereoacuity test or (2) an incorrect response on the 800 seconds of arc level if the butterfly was not attempted.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 16 weeksPopulation: Participants who completed stereoacuity testing at the 16-week visit (regardless of whether or not the visit was completed within the pre-specified analysis window). Descriptive analyses were repeated for a subset of participants with no history of strabismus.
Stereoacuity was tested at near in current refractive correction. Stereoacuity scores (measure as seconds of arc) were calculated based on the Randot Butterfly (scores: 2000, Nil) and Randot Preschool stereoacuity (scores: 800, 400, 200, 100, 60 and 40) test methods. Lower scores indicate better stereoacuity. Results of the Randot Butterfly test were analyzed as 2000 seconds of arc (if correct response). Nil was assigned a score of 4000 seconds of arc and was defined as (1) an incorrect response on the butterfly in absence of a correct response on the 800 seconds of arc level of the Randot Preschool stereoacuity test or (2) an incorrect response on the 800 seconds of arc level if the butterfly was not attempted. A logarithm base 10 transformation was used to convert stereoacuity scores (seconds of arc) to the log scale (conversion reference listed below), which was used to calculate descriptive statistics. Results of the descriptive analyses are reported as seconds of arc.

Timeframe: Baseline and 16 weeksPopulation: The analysis included all participants who completed stereoacuity testing at both baseline and the 16-week visit (regardless of whether or not the exam was completed within the pre-specified analysis window).
Stereoacuity was tested at near in current refractive correction. Stereoacuity scores (seconds of arc) were calculated based on the Randot Butterfly (scores: 2000, Nil) and Randot Preschool stereoacuity (scores: 800, 400, 200, 100, 60 and 40) test methods. Lower scores indicate better stereoacuity. Results of the Randot Butterfly test were analyzed as 2000 (if correct response). Nil (4000 ) was defined as (1) an incorrect response on the butterfly in absence of a correct response on the 800 seconds of arc level of the Randot Preschool stereoacuity test or (2) an incorrect response on the 800 seconds of arc level if the butterfly was not attempted. For each visit, stereoacuity scores were ordered and assigned a rank score. Change in stereoacuity was calculated as the difference in ranked score between the enrollment and 16-week stereoacuity scores.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Entire study period, up to 16 weeksPopulation: The descriptive analysis included data from participants in the binocular treatment group who had log file data available.
Participants assigned to binocular treatment were prescribed the binocular falling blocks game for 1 hour per day (allowing division into shorter sessions), 7 days per week for 16 weeks, with instructions to perform therapy a minimum of 4 days per week if unable to play for 7 days per week. The iPad device automatically recorded duration of game play, fellow-eye contrast, and performance. Adherence was calculated as the total hours of game play since baseline divided by the total prescribed hours (based on intended dose of 1 hour a day, 7 days per week) since baseline. The fellow-eye contrast was initially set to 20% (amblyopic eye always at 100%) and automatically increased or decreased by 10% increments (lowest level of 10%) or left unchanged from the last contrast level, based on the previous day's game play duration (at least 30 minutes required for contrast change) and performance (increased if scored 1000 points or more). Post hoc analysis: 4-week fellow-eye contrast.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: 16 Weeks from baselinePopulation: The descriptive analysis included data from participants who completed the 16-week visit within the predefined analysis window (14 to \<20 weeks after randomization).
Participants who were randomly assigned to binocular treatment were prescribed 1 hour of game play per day, 7 days a week while those assigned to the patching group were prescribed 2 hours of daily patching, 7 days per week. Parents were asked to record the amount of time that the participant played the binocular game (binocular treatment group) or wore the patch (patching group) each day on a calendar. At each study visit, the investigator estimated the frequency and duration of treatment that the participant completed based on the parent-reported calendars and discussion with the participant and/or parent(s). For analysis, the percentage of prescribed treatment completed was calculated as the total number of reported hours of treatment completed since baseline divided by the total number of prescribed hours (refer to the intended treatment dose/frequency listed above) since baseline.

For the younger cohort, the level of visual acuity is analyzed in the log of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR) scale (approximate range: -0.2 to 1.7) such that higher scores indicate poorer VA. Change in VA is computed as logMAR lines (positive values indicate improvement), defined as the difference between the enrollment and 16-week acuities (logMAR) multiplied by 10. For this safety analysis, the change in fellow-eye visual acuity (logMAR lines) was computed by treatment group, adjusting for baseline visual acuity.
