RetinaVue Diabetic Screening

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

the purpose of this study is to examine whether the deployment of a non-mydriatic color fundus camera in a rural prime care setting is feasible and improves the detection rate of diabetic retinopathy in patients where adherence rates with recommended ophthalmology screening is low.

Clinical Trial Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have estimated that 25.6 million Americans aged 20 years or older have either been diagnosed or undiagnosed with diabetes mellitus. As such, it is crucial for patients to receive routine eye exams during their annual health assessment or diabetes follow-up visit with their primary care physician to check for diabetic retinopathy (DR). Of those Type 2 patients with a known duration of diabetes of less than 5 years, DR was diagnosed in 40% of patients taking insulin and 24% of patients not taking insulin. These percentages are especially concerning since data presented by Schoenfeld and colleagues indicates that approximately 35% of Americans with diabetes mellitus do not receive timely and recommended eye care to detect and treat their DR.10 Reasons for noncompliance include transfer to a retinal specialist, limited personal mobility, and insurance. In addition, patients regularly fail to follow-up with their ophthalmologist or optometrist due to the lack of visual symptoms—the lack of symptoms does not exclude the possibility of early diabetic retinopathy. Per the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines, it is recommended that all Type 2 patients receive annual dilated eye exams. These eye exams must be completed by a knowledgeable and experienced eye care professional (i.e. ophthalmologist or optometrist). Early detection of DR and the preventative effects of therapy is an important aspect for long term vision outcomes.

The long-term goal is to improve the detection of diabetic retinopathy through better-quality measures of patient compliance and screening protocols in the prime care clinic. It is hypothesized that in type II diabetic patients without documented retinal pathology, a hand-held non-mydriatic fundus camera is superior to a referred dilated eye exams for the screening and detection of DR. ;

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.
