Dopavision Reports Successful Completion of Enrollment for MyopiaX-1 Trial

- MyopiaX-1 trial to generate first clinical evidence with MyopiaX®, a novel therapeutic approach to manage myopia progression
- First data readout expected in Q1/ 2024 with study completion planned for September 2024

Berlin, Germany, September 26, 2023 --- Dopavision, a clinical-stage company developing innovative solutions for the management of myopia, today announced the successful completion of enrollment in its MyopiaX-1 trial (NCT04967287). MyopiaX-1 is a randomized, active-controlled trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical outcomes of MyopiaX® in pediatric participants with myopia. The first clinical results are expected in the beginning of 2024 and the 12-month MyopiaX-1 trial is scheduled to be completed in September 2024. The MyopiaX-1 trial is being conducted at 10 clinical sites in Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

The MyopiaX-1 clinical trial is a proof-of-concept investigation generating the first clinical evidence with MyopiaX®. More than 100 children between the ages of 6 and 14 years with progressive myopia and a refractive error between –0.75 and –5.00 diopters were randomized to participate in the 12-month trial. The enrolled participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either MyopiaX® or myopia control spectacles for the first 6 months.  During the second half of the study, participants in the MyopiaX® group will add the myopia control spectacles. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board reviews the clinical safety outcomes of the randomized trial participants on a quarterly basis. Dopavision is developing MyopiaX® as an active medical device.

“Pediatric myopia is a global public health problem that presents a significant burden for children, with an increased risk of long-term eye health complications and impaired quality of life,” said Mark Wuttke, CEO of Dopavision. “We designed our treatment approach to control myopia progression as a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical method. Developed as a smartphone application, MyopiaX® is accompanied by fun virtual reality content, easy for children to use, and has the potential to broaden access for a larger number of people suffering from myopia. The MyopiaX® app administers an intervention that targets the eye’s innate growth mechanisms using blue light delivered to the optic nerve head. The MyopiaX-1 study is designed to provide the first clinical insight into the effects of MyopiaX®, and we are very pleased to have reached this important milestone with the completion of the trial enrollment.”

While the MyopiaX-1 trial is ongoing, Dopavision is committed to generating further scientific and clinical evidence to optimize MyopiaX® for all users and stakeholders.
