Espansione Group is thrilled to announce the release of the 6-Month milestone publication of the DRUSEN Study, part of the greater LightWave I research effort — a multicentric clinical trial aimed at studying the impact of LM™ LLLT on dAMD Patients.
The study has been published in the September Issue of Springer’s Ophthalmology & Therapy Journal. In the study, part of a longer longitudinal, double-masked multicentric trial effort, the safety, tolerability, and short-term efficacy of Light Modulation™ Low-Level Light Therapy (LM™ LLLT) for patients with Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (dAMD) has been proven.
Whilst a total of over 200 patients were enrolled within LightWave I, 152 eyes from 76 patients were admitted into the sample.
Given the significant impact on quality of life and the related social costs of AMD, diagnosing, monitoring, and treating the disease are poised to become major challenges for the global ophthalmology community in the coming years. Research efforts and innovative therapeutic approaches such as LM™ LLLT (PBM) are focusing on slowing the progression of the disease and preventing the advanced stages, characterized by either outer retinal and RPE atrophy, or development of wet AMD.
Prof. Enrico Borrelli (MD, PhD), lead investigator of the study from University of Turin, noted that, “The LightWave I trial and the DRUSEN study represent a major milestone deepening our understanding of light therapy’s impact in the management of degenerative retinal conditions such as dry AMD.”
