About This Trial

Home optical coherence tomography- guided treatment versus treat and extend for the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 600 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Key Who May Qualify: - Age ≥ 50 years - Have the capacity to consent on his/her own behalf - Able to successfully and independently complete at least one self-scanning session on the Home OCT device located at the enrolling clinical site - Willing to perform once daily Home OCT monitoring tests for 2 years without significant interruption (such as travel of more than 14 days) - Best corrected E-ETDRS visual acuity ≥24 ETDRS letters (approximately 20/320 or better (Snellen)) - Previously untreated, active MNV lesion (i.e., any intraretinal or subretinal fluid within the center 3 mm diameter circle on OCT) secondary to age-related macular degeneration - ≥ 1 intermediate drusen (≥ 63 microns) in either eye OR late AMD (MNV or macular atrophy) in the contralateral eye Key Exclusion Criteria for Study Eye: - Previous treatment for MNV (intravitreal injection of any anti-VEGF or anti-VEGF/anti-Ang2 agent, or any other AMD therapy) - Prior treatment with intravitreal injection of any anti-VEGF or anti-VEGF/anti-Ang2 agent or with macular laser for any indication - Treatment with intravitreal corticosteroids within the last 6 months - A condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study or ability to complete daily Home OCT scans for 2 years (e.g., unstable medical status that may preclude successful completion of follow-up, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, uncontrollable tremors) - MNV due to other causes, such as ocular histoplasmosis, central serous choroidopathy, or pathologic myopia Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT05904028), the sponsor (Jaeb Center for Health Research), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.
