Clinical trial outcomes for geographic atrophy provides valuable data from both patient and expert input
Research at the Centre for Public Health, Queen’s University Belfast, UK, has suggested that a core outcome set (COS) of measurements should be used in geographic atrophy (GA) trials. The core outcome set of measurements are proposed to include patient-reported outcome measures, near visual acuity, reading speed and assessment of the outer retina. According to […]

Clinical research has indicated that almost half of trial studies have noncompliance issues, creating negative impact outcomes for research. A recent study has shown that 54.4% of patients were compliant with completing all study visits while 45.6% of subjects were noncompliant. Given that trials are a cornerstone to collect patient data in order to build […]

A brief clinical update reporting on a new anti-VEGF antibody conjugate polymer (identified as KSI-301) has highlighted visual acuity gains with three indications – wet AMD, diabetic edema and retinal vein occlusion. The experimental treatment has a novel higher molecular weight antibody moiety -950kDA- considerably larger than other anti-VEGF antibodies (ranibizumab [48kDa] and aflibercept [115kDa]). […]
