Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this PoC study was to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of binocular video games played on a tablet and to compare the efficacy of binocular video games versus patching in amblyopic patients 4 to 7 years old (Part A) as well as to gain experience with binocular video games in older children population of 8 to12 years old (Part B).

Part A and Part B was designed to provide long term data on durability of binocular video games treatment.

The study consisted of two parts, Part A: randomized, single masked PoC study in children 4 to 7 years old at Screening, and Part B: open-label substudy in children 8 to 12 year old at Screening.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The clinical investigation consisted of 2 parts:

* Part A: a single-masked, randomized clinical investigation in subjects 4 to 7 years of age.
* Part B: an open-label, non-randomized sub-investigation in subjects 8 to 12 years of age.

Part A was a 16-week, prospective, randomized, single-masked, multicenter, controlled, 2 arm, parallel-group clinical investigation in subjects 4 to 7 years of age with amblyopia. Subjects were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either binocular videogame treatment for 8 to 12 weeks or patching treatment for 16 weeks. Randomization was stratified by severity of amblyopia in eligible subjects (moderate amblyopia with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the amblyopic eye of 20/100 or better, or severe amblyopia with BCVA of the amblyopic eye worse than 20/100).

Part B was a 16-week, open-label, single arm sub investigation in subjects 8 to 12 years of age with amblyopia, in which selected sites could participate. Subjects received binocular videogame treatment for 8 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of follow-up.
