This webinar explores cutting-edge strategies in ophthalmology clinical trials focused on improving patient access and precision analysis with supplemental artificial intelligence (AI) support. Attendees will gain insights into innovative approaches that can be applied across numerous trial settings.
Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the requirements in ophthalmology clinical trials, the webinar discusses the need for vendor-agnostic, multi-modality platforms in trial design. Inclusion of a browser/cloud-based system ensures regulatory compliance and transparency while offering AI-enabled workflow design for real-time analysis and reporting.
Highlighted case studies demonstrate AI’s transformative impact, particularly in conditions such as dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). By augmenting traditional metrics with AI-generated analysis, connections to functional improvement and drug efficacy are enhanced, streamlining study workflows. Similarly, in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and macular edema (ME) cases, AI strengthens traditional grading methods, providing deeper insights into disease features through advanced imaging analysis.
Additionally, the webinar discusses the pivotal role of electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA) in acknowledging the patient voice and perspective. By implementing best practices for visually impaired patients and integrating validated design features like zoom in/out functionality, participants can seamlessly complete patient-reported outcomes (PROs), improving accessibility and minimizing bias in assessments.

What You Will Learn
Attendees will learn about:
- The importance of utilizing vendor-agnostic, multi-modality platforms in ophthalmology clinical trials to improve regulatory compliance, transparency and workflow efficiency, particularly through AI-enabled real-time analysis and reporting
- Review of case studies for conditions like AMD, DR and ME and how AI integration in clinical trials enhances traditional metrics, strengthens grading methods and provides deeper insights into disease features
- Incorporating the patient voice in clinical trials to understand patient symptoms and experiences, which has been a key area of interest by regulatory agencies and useful for providing key patient perspectives in patients with ophthalmic diseases using PRO assessments
- Importance of using best practices in collecting PROs in patients with visual impairments and how a new design feature (zoom in/out) makes it easier for patients with visual impairment to complete electronic patient-reported outcomes
