Why OCT as an outcome measure?
• A pathologically specific measure of: • Unmyelinated axons, in pRNFL • First-order sensory neurons, at the macula
• Directly related to: • Low contrast letter acuity • Visual QOL
• Optic neuritis as a model system • Reproducibility • Ease of patient participation • Changes over time • Sensitivity to treatment effect???

Month 4 OCT
Study drug (active or placebo)
Safety follow-up
Key Issues: • Timing of enrollment after optic neuritis • Controlling for swelling in the peripapillary RNFL
Sample size: n=35 per arm, measured at 6 months, if 50% treatment effect

Logistics of OCT in Trials
• May be unfamiliar to traditional neurology sites • Potential operator variability • Multiple, evolving technologies

Roles of an OCT Reading Center
• Protocol development input • Instrument-specific manuals of operations • Site/technologist training, certification • Handling, storage, archiving of source images • Quantitative data management • On-study scan review and grading • Quality assurance with feedback to sites • Study closeout, query resolution, OCT database

Takeaways:
• OCT is well-suited as an outcome measure in clinical trials targeting neuroprotection
• Trial designs include acute optic neuritis and SPMS
• Unique complexities apply to each trial design • OCT reading center can facilitate issues of
standardization, quality control, grading, and data management
• IMS VISUAL is paving the way for OCT to play a key role in demonstrating neuroprotection
