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 volunteersQualifiers
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 design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
smaller incision, new generation implantable miniature telescope (SING-IMT)
DeviceThe IMT (model SING) is an intraocular implant comprised of 2 micro lenses in a glass tube (optics) in a flexible silicone carrier (haptics)
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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
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)
Secondary outcomes
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
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
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)
IMT position
IMT tilt and centration in study eyes at Visit 5 (330 to 420 days post-operatively)
