Abstrakt: Purpose: To evaluate functional and structural assessments as endpoints for clinical trials for USH2A-related retinal degeneration.
Methods: People with biallelic disease-causing variants in USH2A, visual acuity ≥ 20/80, and visual field ≥ 10° diameter were enrolled in a 4-year, natural history study. Participants underwent static perimetry, microperimetry, visual acuity, fullfield stimulus testing (FST), and optical coherence tomography annually. Rates of change estimated from mixed-effects linear models and percentages of eyes with changes exceeding the coefficient of repeatability (CoR) or thresholds conforming with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines were evaluated.
Results: Rates of change were generally more sensitive to change than proportions of eyes exceeding a threshold such as the CoR. Baseline ellipsoid zone area ≥ 3 mm2 was necessary to detect change. Mean sensitivity and volumetric hill of vision measures on static perimetry had similar properties and were the most sensitive to changes of the continuous measures. The highest 4-year proportions of eyes exceeding the CoR were from FST testing (47%) and microperimetry (32%). Specification of loci as functional transition points (FTPs) resulted in 45% (static perimetry) and 46% (microperimetry) at 4 years, meeting FDA guidelines for progression.
Conclusions: Rate of change of mean sensitivity on static perimetry was a sensitive perimetric continuous measure. Percentages of within-eye change were largest with FST testing and microperimetry. FTPs appear to be particularly sensitive to change. These results affect clinical trial design for USH2A-related retinal degeneration.
Translational Relevance: Analyses of natural history data from the Rate of Progression in USH2A-Related Retinal Degeneration (RUSH2A) study can inform eligibility criteria and endpoints for clinical trials.
