CLINICAL TRIAL
What is the MyopiaX® clinical trial?
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the clinical effects of MyopiaX®
MyopiaX® is a smartphone application that aims to slow the progression (worsening) of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children and adolescents. We are conducting a clinical trial (NCT04967287) to study the safety and effect of treatment with MyopiaX® on myopia progression.
MyopiaX® delivers selective ocular light stimulation to the eye’s blind spot. Used together with a virtual reality headset and wireless controller, MyopiaX® aims to deliver a medical effect alongside an interactive and child-friendly digital experience.
The MyopiaX® clinical trial investigates the effects of MyopiaX® (Group 1) and myopia control spectacles (Group 2) on myopia progression.
The MyopiaX® clinical trial has been reviewed and approved by the regulatory authorities and ethics committees of the respective clinical institutions in each country to ensure the safety and well-being of participants throughout the trial.
The trial includes 10 recognized research and clinical centres in Germany, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
The MyopiaX® clinical trial achieved its 6-month milestone in April 2024 and is scheduled to conclude in September 2024.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The MyopiaX® trial includes myopic children between 6 and 12 with:
- A refractive error starting at -0.75 Diopters,
- No previous or current myopia treatment, or participation in other trials,
- No other eye conditions or illnesses affecting the eye,
- No medical or family history of photosensitive epilepsy.
How does it work?
- Children will be randomly assigned to use MyopiaX® (Group 1: 2 in 3, 67%) or myopia control spectacles (Group 2: 1 in 3, 33%).
- Group 1 will use MyopiaX® twice daily at home for 12 months. After six months, these children will also wear myopia control spectacles.
- Group 2 will not use MyopiaX®. Instead, they will wear myopia control spectacles for 12 months.
- There will be five clinic visits.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
- Participants may benefit from regular eye exams, which aim to help manage myopia and measure its progression.
- The myopia progression of participants may show signs of slowing due to the two treatments studied in this trial.
- Participants will be part of a group of peers from across Europe participating in the same study.
