This is a prospective, randomised, multi-site clinical trial testing the non-inferiority of community optometry follow-up of participants with QnAMD over 12 months
This is a double-masked, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of ALK-001 in participants with Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Up to 200 participants will receive ALK-001 while up to 100 participants will receive a placebo.
The purpose of this research is the evaluation of a combined coaxial optical coherence tomography (OCT) system to image retina/choroid and to evaluate if post processing of the data can give us insights into property of the tissue imaged.
The main objective of this study is to analyze a new noninvasive imaging examination, OCT angiography, in the evaluation of neovascular remodeling and early signs of recurrence of wet AMD undergoing treatment on OCTA and to correlate OCTA findings with SD-OCT findings.
Subjects with secondary wet age-related macular degeneration(AMD) or recurrent subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in only one study eye will be enrolled into the study.
Primary objectives: To compare between retinal measurements, done by the NOTAL-OCT V2.5 device and a commercial OCT. Secondary objectives: 1. To evaluate the level of agreement between the NOTAL-OCT V2.5 and a commercial OCT in the presence of fluid as identified in the OCT images, in the central 10 degrees of the macula. 2. To evaluate the repeatability of the NOTAL-OCT V2.5
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease. It is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 55 in the U.S. Changes in the eye can make it difficult for the eye to adjust to low light. This is known as dark adaptation. Identifying and watching the early to middle stages of AMD and changes in dark adaptation might help researchers develop new treatments to stop the disease before it becomes severe. Taking vitamin A might help improve vision in people with AMD. Objectives: To see if taking 16,000 IU of vitamin A per day improves vision in people with AMD. Also to improve understanding of AMD and associated dark adaptation. Eligibility: Adults ages 50 and older with AMD and normal liver function Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and eye disease history Eye exam: The pupil will be dilated with eye drops. Pictures will be taken of the retina and the inside of the eye. Including the screening visit, participants will have at least 5 visits. They will be about once a month over 6 months. Visits include: Questions about eye problems in certain light Eye exam Blood and urine tests Dark adaptation protocol: Participants will sit at a machine in a dark room. They will look into the machine and push a button when they see a light. This lasts 20-30 minutes. Participants will take a vitamin A supplement by mouth once a day for 2 months. They will record when they take the pills in a diary.
Data collection and observation of changes within AMD patients performing visual training on mobile devices
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Currently, there is no safe way to obtain cells from the eye to study. But researchers now can turn other types of cells, like skin or blood, into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These can be grown in a lab and turned into other types of cells, like cells from the eye. This will allow researchers to understand and treat diseases of the eye such as AMD. Objectives: To establish a bank of samples that can be changed into other cell types, such as eye cells, to better understand diseases such as AMD. Also to test drugs in order to treat various eye diseases. Eligibility: People who provided DNA samples in another protocol (07-EI-0025) Design: Participants will be screened with their data from the previous protocol. Participants with select genetic variants will be chosen and contacted via phone. Participants will have a punch skin biopsy. The skin will be washed. A numbing medication will be injected. A small piece of skin will be removed with a biopsy tool. The site will be covered with a dressing. They will receive instructions on how to care for the area. They will have follow-up visits if needed for clinical care for the area. Participants may be asked to return if their first sample did not provide enough cells for the lab. Participants sample will be developed into eye cells. The cells will be used to understand diseases and test new drugs.
