The expanded ophthalmology therapeutic area is powered by Clario's clinical trial management platform which enables visualization and analysis of images from all ophthalmic modalities including OCT/OCTA, color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and others across all major indications.

"Our collaboration with Drs. Kaiser, Ehlers, Srivastava and team from the Cole Eye Institute brings the world-class expertise required to provide high-quality endpoint data and enable sponsors to bring emerging ophthalmic therapies to market faster," said Amit Vasanji, Ph.D., Vice President, Medical and Scientific Affairs at Clario. "This combination of scientific expertise and purpose-built technology will provide significant clinical, operational and financial value for sponsors conducting ophthalmic clinical trials and help drive critical advances in treatment for patients."

The Cole Eye Institute provides a network of experienced graders that deliver expertise in image assessment as part of the Clario trial workflow to provide sponsors high quality endpoint data that can accelerate time to market for new treatments. Supported indications range from age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular diseases, diabetic retinopathy, and inherited retinal degenerations to non-ophthalmic indications such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. 

"The initiative is designed to advance ophthalmic research as the prevalence of eye-related disorders increases. This is achieved by helping sponsors overcome common clinical trial challenges related to integrating multiple third-party systems and imperfect manual processes," said Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Kaiser. "This web-based platform provides the workflow support, real-time visibility and compliance assurance necessary to operate trials effectively."
