What you commit to

  • Study type: Interventional · Phase 2
  • Participants enrolled: 80
  • From 3 Aug 2022 to the primary completion date, 12 Jul 2024
  • 1 site in 1 country
  • Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Personal history of prior genetic testing for AMD risk
  • Anticipated cataract surgery in the upcoming year (can affect Macular Pigment measurement)

Other illness

  • Personal history of AMD
  • Major psychiatric disorder

Other

  • Non Caucasian
  • Employee of the Moran or other eye care practice (likely to have more knowledge about AMD than a layperson)

Who the study is looking for

  • Participants must be between 18 and 64 years of age.
  • They must also be Caucasian as this genetic test is only validated in Caucasians.
  • They can have a positive family history of AMD but this is not necessary.

Age in the registry: 18 years to 64 years · Sex: All · Accepts healthy volunteers
