PG - 109-116 LID - S0002-9394(23)00472-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ajo.2023.11.010 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To evaluate the progression of atrophy as determined by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in patients with molecularly confirmed PROM1-associated retinal degeneration (RD) over a 24-month period. DESIGN: International, multicenter, prospective case series. METHODS: A total of 13 eyes (13 patients) affected with PROM1-associated RD were enrolled at 5 sites and SD-OCT images were obtained at baseline and after 24 months. Loss of mean thickness (MT) and intact area were estimated after semi-automated segmentation for the following individual retinal layers in the central subfield (CS), inner ring, and outer ring of the ETDRS grid: retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), outer segments (OS), inner segments (IS), outer nuclear layer (ONL), inner retina (IR), and total retina (TR). RESULTS: Statistically significant losses of thickness of RPE and TR were detected in the CS and inner ring and of ONL and IS in the outer ring (all P < .05); a statistically significant decrease in the intact area of RPE and IS was observed in the inner ring, and of ONL in the outer ring (all P < .05); the change in MT and the intact area of the other layers showed a trend of decline over an observational period of 24 months. CONCLUSIONS: Significant thickness losses could be detected in outer retinal layers by SD-OCT over a 24-month period in patients with PROM1-associated retinal degeneration. Loss of thickness and/or intact area of such layers may serve as potential endpoints for clinical trials that aim to slow down the disease progression of PROM1-associated retinal degeneration.
