Abstract
Background and objective: Outer retinal tubulation (ORT) is observed on optical coherence tomography images from patients with geographic atrophy (GA), but its clinical implications are unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ORT and its association with GA lesion growth rates.
Materials and methods: This post hoc longitudinal analysis assessed 62 eyes randomized to sham treatment in the phase 2 FILLY trial. ORT prevalence was estimated at baseline, month 12, and month 18 and change in GA lesion growth from baseline to month 18 was calculated.
Results: ORT prevalence rates were 24%, 43%, and 43% at baseline, month 12, and month 18, respectively. Slower mean GA lesion growth was observed in eyes with ORT present at baseline in the overall population as well as the subfoveal and nonsubfoveal GA subgroups.
Conclusion: ORT presence may indicate a slower-growing GA lesion phenotype, independent of foveal involvement. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2024;55:448-451.].
