First Peer-reviewed Publication around the RAZORBILL Study

The very first peer-reviewed publication around the RAZORBILL study has been published in the British journal of Ophthalmology (BJO).

'Does real-time artificial intelligence-based visual pathology enhancement of three-dimensional optical coherence tomography scans optimise treatment decision in patients with nAMD? Rationale and design of the RAZORBILL study'

A first of its class international multi-center clinical study to assess the influence of automated 3D OCT scan enrichment with segmentation information on disease activity assessment in patients with nAMD treated with either brolucizumab, ranibizumab or aflibercept.


We are glad to be supporting this initiative together with a leading team of world renown ophthalmologists & Novartis!
