Trial Outcomes & Findings for Wearable Dark-adaptometer in Normal Adult Healthy Volunteers (NCT NCT02674425)

NCT ID: NCT02674425

Last Updated: 2024-07-01

Results Overview

RCB (time) values were determined by recording the time required for the participant to observe a light stimulus of a particular luminosity. Participants viewed the light stimuli without their optical correction. These consisted of a white (λpeak = 464 nm; chromaticity coordinates - 2° observer: x = 0.269, y = 0.324) circular test target of 0.255 mm radius, forming a visual angle of around 33°. Participants were asked to press a response button on the handheld joystick when the test target was visible and had 750 ms to make a response after target onset. Target intensity started at approximately 4.865 cd\*m-2. Light stimuli were presented approximately every 2.6 s for a duration of 150 ms each. If the subject under test did not respond to the stimuli, the target intensity remained at the same initial level of approximately 4.865 cd\*m-2 until the subject responded. If the subject reported perception of the light stimulus within the response window, the luminance was reduced by 0
