Comparison of Phase-variance Optical Coherence Tomography & Fluorescein

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether phase variance optical coherence tomography (PV-OCT), a software-based optical coherence tomography(OCT) image processing technology, can be used to generate angiographic images of the retinochoroidal vasculature that are comparable to those produced by fluorescein angiography (FA), the current gold standard diagnostic test.

Clinical Trial Description

Fluorescein angiography (FA) has long been the gold standard for vascular imaging of the retina and choroid. It is a test that involves the intravenous injection of fluorescein dye, followed by imaging of the dye's passage through the blood vessels inside the eye. It is commonly used to diagnose many forms of retinovascular disease, as well as to assess the retina's response to various therapeutic interventions. While FA is a relatively safe diagnostic test, it carries the risk of both minor and major side effects. These include nausea and vomiting, yellowing of the skin and urine, vascular extravasation with skin eruption and necrosis, vasovagal reactions, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, anaphylaxis, cardiopulmonary arrest, and death. Additionally, the test is time-consuming, technically difficult to perform, and requires patients to undergo the discomfort associated with intravenous access. Despite these drawbacks, FA is still commonly used in clinical practice, as there are no existing alternative tests with the ability to provide comparable detail of the retinal and choroidal vasculature.

Phase-variance optical coherence tomography is a novel, noninvasive, software-based technology capable of generating angiographic images from the data gathered by standard OCT scans. Preliminary research suggests it can produce high-definition representations of the retinal and choroidal vasculature which may be more detailed than the images produced by FA. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
