Current Clinical Trials
Opthea Clinical Trial
The National Retina is currently enrolling patients in the Opthea clinical trial for the treatment of Exudative (Wet) Macular Degeneration*.
Opthea is currently conducting two concurrent Phase 3 clinical trials with OPT-302, which are actively recruiting and enrolling treatment-naïve patients for the treatment of wet AMD.
The Phase 3 trials, referred to as ShORe and COAST, are double-masked, sham-controlled trials that enroll treatment-naïve patients and assess the efficacy and safety of 2.0 mg OPT-302 in combination with anti-VEGF-A therapy, compared to standard of care anti-VEGF-A monotherapy. In addition, to understand the durability of OPT-302 treatment effect with less frequent dosing, each trial will compare the clinical efficacy of OPT-302 administered in combination with the applicable VEGF-A inhibitor on an every 4-week and every 8-week dosing regimen.
The primary endpoint of both trials will be the mean change in visual acuity from baseline at week 52. Patients will continue to be dosed until week 96 to further assess long-term safety at week 100.
Opthea began patient recruitment into the Phase 3 trials, ShORe and COAST, in the first half of 2021.

NAVILAS Laser Use in Retinal Tissue
Navilas laser is a cutting-edge technology, which allows for precise placement of laser sport to retinal tissue. During treatment, the computer system will constantly track the patient’s eye movement to direct laser spots more precisely than manual delivery.
Subvisible Micropulse (SVMP) Laser for Neovascular Age-Related Macular degeneration (AMD)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the beneficial effects of micropulse laser in the treatment of wet macular degeneration. Potential benefits for the patients include l fewer of injections, faster recovery, and better vision.
MicroPulse in Retinal Disease
NRI is on the cutting edge in conducting studies evaluating the role of micropulse laser in the treatment of a variety of retinal disorders. A Micropulse laser is a gentle laser that does not burn the retina. Instead, it will stimulate the retina to produce beneficial proteins. These proteins in turn will make retina healthier. Numerous studies have shown micropulse laser to be effective for the treatment of a variety of retinal conditions.
