COCO-GA: COmparison of Clarus and Optos Ultrawide Field Imaging Systems for Geographic Atrophy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare measurements of geographic atrophy (GA) area between several types of imaging, in order to assess accuracy. The main question to answer is which imaging device provides measurements that are most similar to the standard of care device.
Participants will be patients of a retina doctor at University Station Eye Clinic with geographic atrophy, and can expect to be in the study for 60-75 minutes.

Detailed Description
This study is a single site pilot comparative imaging study in which enrolled participants will undergo dilated fundus exam as per standard of care. Study images will be obtained using Optos ultrawide field fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and both blue and green ultrawide field FAF with Zeiss Clarus. Autofluorescence (AF) imaging will also be performed on the Spectralis as it is currently the gold standard. The goal will be to obtain all images in 60-75 minutes over one visit. Images will be assessed, and area of geographic atrophy measured independently by two experienced readers.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging
|
Device: Spectralis FAF imaging
Spectralis is a scanning laser ophthalmoscope which uses a blue light excitation wavelength of 488nm and a 500nm barrier filter to produce FAF images. Spectralis images 20-55 degrees of the retina.
Device: Optos imaging
Optos is an ultrawide field imaging platform which images up to 200 degrees of the retina. It uses both a green-light excitation wavelength of 532nm and a red-light excitation wavelength of 633nm with an emission filter of greater than 540nm to produce FAF images.
Device: Zeiss Clarus 700 imaging
Zeiss Clarus 700 is an ultrawide field imaging system with similar retinal coverage to that of Optos. It uses Broad Line Fundus Imaging to produce blue FAF images at excitation wavelengths of 435-500nm and green FAF images at wavelengths of 500-585nm

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Comparison of geographic atrophy area measurements by Clarus with standard Spectralis imaging [Up to 75 minutes]
Graders will independently measure area of GA from images of each device. The measurements (in mm²) will be compared between the two devices.
- Comparison of geographic atrophy area measurements by Optos with standard Spectralis imaging [Up to 75 minutes]
Graders will independently measure area of GA from images of each device. The measurements (in mm²) will be compared between the two devices.
- Comparison of geographic atrophy area measurements between Clarus and Optos [Up to 75 minutes]
Graders will independently measure area of GA from images of each device. The measurements (in mm²) will be compared between the two devices.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Prevalence of atrophy outside the standard 30 degrees in Clarus and Optos ultrawide field images [Up to 75 minutes]
The presence of atrophy outside field 2 will be documented from the two ultrawide field imaging devices
- Prevalence of other autofluorescence abnormalities outside the standard 30 degrees in Clarus and Optos ultrawide field images [Up to 75 minutes]
The presence of abnormal autofluorescence outside field 2 will be documented from the two ultrawide field imaging devices
