Brief Summary

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

This is a bilateral, dispensing, masked, randomized clinical trial. Myopic children will be randomly assigned to one of the following: (1) Investigational clinical prototype (CP1) device without atropine, (2) Investigational CP1 device with daily instillation of 0.01% atropine, or (3) daily instillation of 0.01% atropine without use of the investigational CP1 device. Primary endpoint: Difference in the 12-month change of cycloplegic spherical refractive error and axial length between each of the three treatment groups.

Detailed Description

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

The eSpectacle clinical prototype (CP1) device consists of a clear 15° central aperture and projects +9.00D defocused micro-LED lights onto the peripheral retina. In this pilot investigation, we aim to observe the ocular biometric and refractive changes following part-time wear of the clinical prototype device over a course of 12 months.

This trial is bilateral, dispensing, masked, and randomized (stratified by age). Myopic children will be randomly assigned to one of the following: (1) CP1 device without atropine, (2) CP1 device with daily instillation of 0.01% atropine, or (3) daily instillation of 0.01% atropine without use of the CP1 device.

A total of 45 subjects (15 per subgroup) are targeted to complete the study, which will consist of 8 visits: Screening, baseline/dispense, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. Subjects will be enrolled from the patient population at the investigator site.

The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the eSpectacle clinical prototype device with and without the use of 0.01 percent atropine for slowing the progression of myopia in Taiwanese children, by assessing changes in central axial length and cycloplegic autorefraction following at least 12 hours per week of wear over 12 months. To minimize bias, the primary outcome variables of cycloplegic autorefraction and axial length will be measured by a Masked Investigator.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Clinical prototype (CP1) device

15 subjects will be randomly assigned to use the eSpectacle Clinical Prototype (CP1) device 2 hours per day, at least 6 days per week. Standard single vision correction will be used during other waking hours. The eSpectacle clinical prototype (CP1) device consists of a clear 15° central aperture and projects +9.00D defocused micro-LED lights onto the peripheral retina.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

eSpectacle Clinical prototype (CP1) device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The CP1 device consists of a clear 15° central aperture and projects +9.00D defocused micro-LED lights of approximately 4800 nits illumination to the peripheral retina.

CP1 and 0.01% atropine

15 subjects will be randomly assigned to use the eSpectacle Clinical Prototype (CP1) device 2 hours per day, at least 6 days per week, in addition to nightly instillation of one drop of 0.01% atropine. Standard single vision correction will be used during other waking hours. The eSpectacle clinical prototype (CP1) device consists of a clear 15° central aperture and projects +9.00D defocused micro-LED lights onto the peripheral retina. Atropine is an anticholinergic medication which can be used for dilation and cycloplegia and has been evaluated for slowing the progression of myopia.
