Brief Summary

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

In the United States, only 62% of the 37 million people with diabetes receive annual screening exams for diabetic retinopathy. One of the goals of the US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2030 campaign is to increase diabetic retinopathy screening rates to 70.3%. Research indicates that low screening rates are associated with a variety of factors, including income levels, race and lack of access to care. Furthermore, because diabetic retinopathy frequently presents asymptomatically, non-adherence to screening results in postponed disease detection and a higher probability of vision loss. Currently, it is estimated that 9 million adults in the US are affected by diabetic retinopathy, and 1.8 million suffer from vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy. Importantly, the rates of vtDR vary greatly by race, with Hispanic individuals at 7.14% and Black individuals at 8.66%, compared to 3.55% in White individuals. Despite these alarming figures, the disease can be managed and vision loss can often be averted with early disease detection, thus highlighting the importance of increasing screening rates.

A clear need exists for a diabetic retinopathy screening tool that can be deployed in primary care settings, addressing the shortage of specialist care and making screening more accessible to underserved populations. OPTDR01 will directly address these issues by providing accessible, high quality screening for diabetic retinopathy. OPTDR01 will automatically detect more than mild diabetic retinopathy (mtmDR) and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (vtDR) in diabetic adults who have not previously been diagnosed with mtmDR or vtDR.

Detailed Description

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

This study will be conducted to assess the feasibility of the OPTDR01 in detecting mtmDR and vtDR in frontline care settings in adults with a diagnosis of diabetes but no prior diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. The study will inform the design of a large pivotal study in terms of expected disease prevalence, participant recruitment rate, data collection tools and study workflow.

Eligible participants will undergo the following:

* retinal imaging sessions of each eye with a fundus camera for OPTDR01 evaluation
* dilation with mydriatic agent
* fundus photography, macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) and red reflex exam of each eye for comparison.

A subset of participants will be invited to participate in a precision sub-study, during which multiple operators will image participant eyes with multiple cameras.
