Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Simple endpoint: - Difference in visual recovery (difference between pre-operative and post-operative visual acuity) at 3 months post-operatively (after a successful reapplication procedure) (EDTRS scale) between the 2 groups (treatment and placebo)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Difference between pre-operative and post-operative visual acuity at 3 months post-operatively measured on the ETDRS (EDTRS) scale between treatment and placebo groups (after successful retinal reapplication)."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- CNE thickness, measured by SD-OCT, in the central 1 and 3 mm relative to the contralateral eye in the treatment group versus the placebo group (measurement adjusted relative to the contralateral eye to eliminate interindividual variability) at 1, 3 and 6 months.\n- Automated microperimetry at 1, 3 and 6 months: difference in macular sensitivity between the 2 groups.\n- Measuring contrast sensitivity on the Clinic CSF2.012 application\n- Presence/absence of abnormal signs on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images (cysts, folds, membrane, ellipsoid zone, outer limiting membrane, etc.).\n- Retinal thickness of different layers measured on OCT (retinal layers and presence of cysts segmentation of layers and measurement on central 1 and 3 mm in ETDRS quadrants).\n- Number of macular cones and pigment epithelium cells (RPE) measured by Adaptive Optics at 1, 3 and 6 months with the Cellularis device, which visualizes cones and RPE 13\n- Blood test: liver parameters: AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), PAL and γ -GT.\n- Evolution of best visual acuity measured at D0, D7, D30, D60, D90 and D180: difference between treatment and placebo groups in visual acuity progression curves.\n- Presence of metamorphospises.\n- Tolerance and occurrence of adverse events\n- National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (NEIVFQ-25) before surgery, at D±7 post-op and at 3 months post-op.\n- Correlation between levels of proteins, bile acids or other molecular markers in ocular fluids and/or blood and pre- and post-operative functional and anatomical ocular parameters at different observation times.\n- Correlation between effective treatment duration and functional and anatomical results at different observation times.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"CNE thickness measured by SD-OCT (central 1 and 3 mm, adjusted to contralateral eye) at 1, 3, 6 months; Automated microperimetry for macular sensitivity at 1,3,6 months; Contrast sensitivity measured on Clinic CSF2.012 application; OCT used to assess presence/absence of abnormal signs and retinal layer thickness (segmentation, central 1 and 3 mm ETDRS quadrants); Adaptive Optics (Cellularis) to count macular cones and RPE at 1,3,6 months; Blood tests for liver parameters AST/ALT/PAL/γ-GT; Best-corrected visual acuity measured at D0, D7, D30, D60, D90, D180 and compared between groups; Assessment of metamorphopsia presence; Collection and reporting of adverse events; NEI VFQ-25 administered pre-op, around D7 post-op, and at 3 months; Correlative analyses between molecular marker levels in ocular fluids/blood and ocular functional/anatomical parameters; Correlation analyses between treatment duration and outcomes."}
