RetinAI highlights Geographic Atrophy research with models available for analysis to enable the right decision sooner during clinical studies

Bern, Switzerland, April 21, 2022 - RetinAI Medical AG (“RetinAI”) is pleased to share research findings from three published papers in Geographic Atrophy (GA). In collaboration with the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Lausanne, Jules-Gonin Hospital, researchers at RetinAI developed a model for predicting atrophy risk in patients with non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD)[1].

One-hundred and twenty-nine (129) eyes were analyzed to create a model for predicting atrophy progression using OCT scans from treatment-naive patients. The model demonstrated performance for predicting future progression, evaluating data from baseline visits and the preceding visit to calculate atrophy risk up to 7 years in some cases. A patient-specific atrophy risk map was computed using this model for RORA progression based on a novel continuous-time output, strengthening the model’s performance to predict future atrophy. Other models developed by the researchers in GA include automated atrophy segmentation of retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (RORA)[2] and automated foveal detection in GA from OCT imaging[3].

RetinAI partners with experts in ophthalmology to help accelerate their data analysis and more effectively carry out target-based research for improved study design and clinical research. RetinAI’s models in GA provide companies with research tools they can use to analyze datasets at-scale and gain a deep understanding on biomarker profiles and patient subgroups based on disease progression or outcomes.
