About this trial

The objective of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the smaller incision, new generation (SING), implantable miniature telescope (IMT) in patients with moderate-severe central vision loss due to late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Be at least 65 years of age at the Pre-operative Visit;

Have ETDRS BCDVA 0.9 to 1.6 logMAR (20/160 to 20/800) at the Pre-operative Visit caused by bilateral central scotomas associated with end-stage AMD;

Have bilateral retinal findings of geographic atrophy or disciform scar with foveal involvement, as determined by standard of care fluorescein angiography (FA) prior to the Pre-operative Visit;

lack of need of treatment for CNV over the past 6 months, and

Disqualifiers

Have cognitive impairment that would interfere with the ability to understand and provide Informed Consent or prevent proper visual training/rehabilitation with the device;

Stargardt macular dystrophy;

Diabetic retinopathy;

Untreated retinal tears;

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Primary Effectiveness Outcome

Proportion of study eyes with an improvement of 10 or more ETDRS letters (0.2 logMAR) in either BCDVA or BCNVA at Visit 5 (330 to 420 days post-operatively) compared to Pre-operative Visit

Time frame
Approximately 12-months post-operatively (330-420 days)
2

Primary Safety Outcome

Percent change in endothelial cell density (ECD) from Pre-operative Visit in study eyes at Visit 5 (330 to 420 days post-operatively)

Time frame
Approximately 12-months post-operatively (330-420 days)

Secondary outcomes

1

Best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA)

Post-operative BCDVA in study eyes at Visit 5 (330 to 420 days post-operatively) compared to Pre-operative Visit

Time frame
Approximately 12-months post-operatively (330-420 days)
2

Best-corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA)

Post-operative BCNVA in study eyes at Visit 5 (330 to 420 days post-operatively) compared to Pre-operative Visit

Time frame
Approximately 12-months post-operatively (330-420 days)
3

Anterior Chamber Depth

Anterior Chamber Depth in study eyes, defined as the distance between the corneal endothelium and the front surface of the IMT, at Visit 5 (330 to 420 days post-operatively)

Time frame
Approximately 12-months post-operatively (330-420 days)
4

IMT position

IMT tilt and centration in study eyes at Visit 5 (330 to 420 days post-operatively)

Time frame
Approximately 12-months post-operatively (330-420 days)
