    clinical trials

Ophthalmology clinical trials are essential for advancing treatments for various eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. These trials face unique challenges due to the specificities of the indications and the patient population involved.

Patients with visual impairments may struggle to complete questionnaires accurately, leading to potential data inaccuracies and suboptimal patient experience, and patients may find it difficult to adhere to multiple data collection requirements and the requirements of lenghty studies.

Using eCOA solutions allows increased flexibility through appropriate device selection and through options such as font size adaptation, whilst following best practices and meeting industry standards.

We have a suite of flexible options to meet patient-specific needs

With visually impaired patients, adapted data collection strategies are needed.

We are fully integrated into a fast-paced, changing environment

As an active member of the eCOA Consortium, we contribute to develop best practices that incorporate strategies to best migrate and implement PROs. These best practices reflect the current consensus based on significant advances in technology capabilities, balancing the need for maintaining data integrity while optimizing usability.

While these best practices are not specific to the area of ophthalmology, their use is highly recommended to ensure fully informed and optimal ePRO implementation in ophthalmology clinical trials.

By implementing these best practices, we aim to positively impact the quality, practicality, and acceptability of the electronic capture of clinical trial endpoint data.​

Ophthalmic conditions and vision impairment currently affect 2.2 billion people globally:

  • Data collection can be very challenging for patients with visual impairment, but the patient- and site-centric research approach that we’ve seen growing for several years allows clinical trials to be better adapted to patient needs.
  • Measuring patients’ perception of their symptoms and their quality of life using efficient ePRO solutions is essential in ophthalmology clinical research.

Kayentis offers tailored decentralized solutions with qualitative ePROs and extensive experience in ophthalmology to ensure the success of ophthalmology clinical trials by:

  • securing ePRO data collection with adapted electronic devices and multiple data collection modes,
  • understanding and integrating patients’ specificities and preferences,
  • and anticipating unscheduled visits with strong product capabilities and processes
