OCT Evaluation of Neovascular AMD in Clinical Trials:
A Reading Center Perspective
This webinar video provides an overview of the role a reading center plays in the use of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in major studies for patients with neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD). MERIT experts review the capabilities of the reading center and summarize how these studies are approached.
3 key questions that are answered:
- What benefits does a reading center offer Sponsors pursuing nAMD studies with OCT endpoints?
- What are the common inclusion/exclusion eligibility criteria for OCT in nAMD studies?
- Which OCT endpoints are often used for nAMD studies?
