Trial Outcomes & Findings for Theranostic Guided Riboflavin/UV-A Corneal Cross-linking (NCT NCT05457647)

NCT ID: NCT05457647

Last Updated: 2025-02-11

Results Overview

The aim of this study is to validate the combined use of theranostic imaging biomarkers in predicting the propsensity of corneal corneal cross-linking (CXL) in flattening the Kmax at 1-year. The accuracy and precision (95% CI) of the combined use of the theranostic imaging biomarkers to predict CXL treatment outcome are determined by calculating the percentage of correctly classified eyes and the positive predictive value (PPV) respectively.

Riboflavin/UV-A Corneal Cross-linking Monitored by Theranostic Software Module
One study arm receiving riboflavin/UV-A corneal cross-linking with either standard, Epi-OFF, or transepithelial, Epi-ON, treatment protocol. Only one eye of each participant is designated as the study eye. Riboflavin/UV-A corneal cross-linking: Corneal cross-linking procedure is performed using the C4V CHROMO4VIS™ system equipped with theranostic software module in all participants. Participants will receive a single dose of the 0.22% riboflavin ophthalmic solution, RitSight™. Application of the riboflavin eye drop is done for 15 minutes for the EpiOFF CXL treatment and 20 minutes for the EpiON CXL treatment. Estimates of riboflavin concentration into the cornea are monitored by the C4V CHROMO4VIS™ system during the dosing phase of treatment. Once the pre-set dosing phase is completed, the C4V CHROMO4VIS™ system provides the Operator the access to the UV-A irradiation of the cornea with 5.4 J/cm2 total energy dose (10 mW/cm2 for 9 min.) and 7.00 mm light beam diameter in all participants. Estimates of treatment efficacy by calculation of theranostic score are performed by the C4V CHROMO4VIS™ system during UV-A irradiation.
