Treatment of Neovascular AMD: Artificial Intelligence in Real-world Setting
Personalized Treatment Aided by Automated Analysis of Fluid in Active Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) in a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Study.
Medical University of Vienna
290 participants
Mar 1, 2021
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study is to implement quantitative assessment tools for the treatment of active neovascular AMD patients in a real-world setting in order to provide advantages for both patients (treatment burden) and healthcare system (scheduling visits/treatments).
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Adults ≥ 50 years
- Active neovascular AMD (classic, occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV), RAP lesion or PCV lesion) assessed by OCT, OCTA, FA
- Patients who have a BCVA score better or equal 0.1 (20/200) in the study eye using ETDRS
- No significant fibrosis or geographic atrophy (GA) involving the fovea
- Willingness and ability to comply with study visits and study procedures
- Signed informed consent form
Exclusion Criteria15
- Hypersensitivity to Fluoresceine, Ranibizumab, Aflibercept, Brolucizumab or to any of the excipients (Polysorbate 20, Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, monohydrate, Disodium hydrogen phosphate, heptahydrate, Sodium chloride, Sucrose)
- Any surgical treatment of the eye within 3 months prior to baseline in the study eye
- History of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (Irvine Gass Syndrome)
- History of glaucoma filtration surgery, corneal transplant surgery or extracapsular extraction of cataract with phacoemulsification within six months preceding Visit 0, or a history of post-operative complications within the last 12 months preceding Visit 0 in the study eye (uveitis, cyclitis etc.)
- History of uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye (defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥ 25 mmHg despite treatment with IOP lowering medication), or C/D Ratio \>0,9
- Aphakia in the study eye
- Presence of a retinal pigment epithelial tear involving the macula in the study eye
- Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye (e.g. advanced cataract or diabetic retinopathy) that, in the opinion of the investigator, will most likely require medical or surgical intervention during the twelve-month study period to prevent or treat visual loss that might result from that condition
- Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) in the study eye
- Active or suspected ocular or periocular infection in the study eye
- Vitreous hemorrhage or history of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or macular hole in the study eye
- Current iris neovascularization, vitreous hemorrhage, or tractional retinal detachment
- Evidence of current infectious blepharitis, keratitis, scleritis, or conjunctivitis in either eye
- Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye that, in the opinion of the investigator, could cause an unwanted effect on treatment efficacy, compliance or require intraocular surgery (except for cataract surgery) during the study period
- Presence of corneal decompensation, haze or scaring with an impact on BCVA

Interventions
All patients will be treated at baseline. A loading dose of 2 additionally monthly treatments will be performed at months 1 and 2. Patients showing no intra- and/or subretinal fluid in the central 1mm subfield at month 1, no treatment will be given till any disease activity is documented. Presence/change of sub- and intraretinal fluid will be assessed objectively by AI software and the results will be provided during the visit to the investigator. The final decision for/against retreatment is always made by the discretion of the clinical investigator. Should the Investigators decision differ from the study protocol, the reason will be indicated in the CRF.

In this cohort the amount of retinal fluid will not be assessed by AI software at the time of retreatment.
