Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), which can happen as a complication of diabetes, occurs when fluid and proteins collect in the macula (the yellow central area of the retina). The fluid can cause swelling which in turn can lead to worsening central vision. The purpose of this study is to see if the study device (Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography or SS-OCT) is able to diagnose DME as well as an already approved imaging procedure called fluorescein angiography (FA). FA is standard of care and would be conducted regardless of study participation. The dye used in FA, which can cause allergic reactions in some patients and is not used in pregnant women, is not needed with the study device. Another purpose of the study is to avoid the risk of administering the FA dye if possible.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
