Workshop A: Utilizing Next Gen Imaging Biomarkers to Determine Biomarkers Appropriate for Clinical Trials 8:30 am

Structural and functional rationales for selecting endpoints/outcomes in trials Imaging biomarkers in atrophy – if we move the goalposts, we might score big Imaging biomarkers at the transition from aging to AMDRead more

How Vision is Impaired from Aging to Intermediate AMD: Insights from ALSTAR2 Baseline 9:00 am

Structure/function endpoints for AMD should be motivated by the pathobiology of the disease. RMDA has a strong history in outer retina neurophysiology and psychophysics Using z-scores to standardize vision measures – greatest difference between visual function in normal and intermediate AMD eyes Delayed rod-mediated dark adaptation in normal eyes doubles the risk for incident AMDRead more
