Listed Research Project
OCT Angiography for Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

PROJECT NARRATIVE Timely diagnosis and treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is imperative to prevent vision loss from neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Currently, fluorescein angiography, an invasive test, is the gold standard to diagnose CNV. We will develop OCT angiography to enhance the capabilities of currently utilized OCT, a safe and non-invasive diagnostic test. OCT angiography will aid in our understanding of neovascular AMD and will provide new information to help clinicians with diagnosis and management decisions.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
