Can At-Home eye scans personalize wet AMD treatment?
NCT ID NCT07744984
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a home eye-scanning device can improve care for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who are switching to the medication faricimab. Participants will scan their own retinas at home several times a week, and the images will be sent to their doctors for review. The goal is to see if this frequent monitoring helps detect changes sooner and supports more personalized treatment decisions, potentially extending the time between injections.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- faricimab (an anti-VEGF eye injection) plus a home optical coherence tomography (OCT) device for self-imaging
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that home eye scans help doctors adjust wet AMD treatment faster and more precisely, potentially leading to better vision outcomes and fewer clinic visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (12 people) and early-stage, so results may not apply broadly. The home device requires regular self-imaging, which may be challenging, and faricimab may not work for everyone.
