Brief Summary

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

Age-Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition and a leading cause of vision loss among people age 50 and older. It causes damage to the macula, a small area near the centre of the retina needed for sharp, central vision. It is estimated that the prevalence of early and late AMD in Asian populations aged 40 to 79 were 6.8% and 0.56% respectively. Prevalence in white populations estimated from large population studies were 8.8% and 0.59% respectively. With the aging population and people living longer, these numbers will only increase. Hence, this study aims to develop a system to evaluate OCCUTRACK's CRYSTALSIGHT device through remote monitoring for disease recurrence of wet aged-related macular degeneration using eye gaze tracking.

Detailed Description

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

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic macular Edema (DME) is one of the main causes of central vision loss. Most patients require pharmacologic treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents with multiple follow-up visits that include optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual acuity testing and multiple injections.

The high frequency of visits puts pressure on eye clinics and can be extremely stressful for both patients and their caregivers. Therefore, portable and rapidly deployable self-administered home-based examination devices are key to making telemedicine a reality.

OCCUTRACK Medical Solutions has developed a portable, self-administered device designed for gaze-tracking and monitoring of patients with retinal diseases such as AMD and DME, and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) that require multiple anti-VEGF injections.

The team have confirmed the performance of the CRYSTALSIGHT device and validated the retinal thickness measurements obtained with this device by comparing it to in-hospital Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) (Heidelberg Spectralis). In this study, the team will conduct a randomized clinical trial RCT to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a Pro Re Nana (PRN) management regimen enhanced with the CRYSTALSIGHT home monitoring device for the detection of central metamorphopsia with existing PRN standard of care for patients with AMD or DME exiting the anti-VEGF injection regimen.

Study Groups

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

Amsler Grid

The Amsler grid is a tool used to monitor the macula, the central part of the retina, for changes in vision that can be indicative of various eye conditions, particularly age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It helps detect and monitor metamorphopsia (distorted vision) or scotoma (blind spots) in the central visual field.

CRYSTALSIGHT Arm

OCCUTRACK's CRYSTALSIGHT device tracks these eye movements with generated patterns on the screen, a visual assessment of affected and unaffected eyes is achieved without expensive optics and at home on any tablet or laptop computer.

CRYSTALSIGHT is a home-based gaze-tracking readily available for home hyperacuity monitoring for these and other high-risk eyes with diagnosed wet-AMD.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Subjects in the age group ≥ 55 to 99 years old.
2. Both genders
3. Able to understand verbal spoken instructions in British/American English, Chinese or Bahasa Melayu and demonstrate device functionality and implementation.
4. Able to turn on and connect the CRYSTALSIGHT device to a computer independently or with the help of family.
5. Subjects undergoing treatment for Wet-AMD without any signs and symptoms of recurrence of active AMD (AMD recurrence: choroidal neovascularisation, intraretinal or subretinal fluid is present) with OCT lesion fluid volume more than 2 mm2 or ILM height more than 300µm.
6. Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment.
7. Subjects must be able to understand and provide informed consent. A signed informed consent form must be provided before any study assessments.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Unable to understand verbal spoken instructions and demonstrate device functionality and implementation.
2. Unable to turn on and connect the CRYSTALSIGHT device to a computer independently.
3. Any ocular surgery in the previous 3 months, or vitrectomy in the previous 12 months
4. Any history of macular pathology unrelated to AMD affecting vision or contributing to the presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid in the study eye
5. Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye that, in the opinion of the investigator, could either reduce the potential for visual improvement or require medical or surgical intervention during the study
6. Any prior or concomitant treatment for CNV or vitreomacular-interface abnormalities in the study eye.
7. History of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye
8. Active ocular inflammation or suspected or active ocular or periocular infection in either eye.
