VIDEO: Experts consider endpoints for clinical trials in geographic atrophy

CHICAGO — In this video, Joan W. Miller, MD, chair of ophthalmology at Mass Eye and Ear, discusses highlights from the AAO meeting.

One topic that Miller found interesting centered on appropriate endpoints for clinical trials in geographic atrophy (GA).

“The bar has been set at an anatomic endpoint, so slowing down the growth of GA,” Miller said. “We accept that as specialists, but in the discussion, I think there was a lot of interest in having some other measure — a secondary endpoint that included some change in visual function.”
