NCT07747233

Brief Summary

This multi-site precision study evaluated the performance and reproducibility of the CLAiR artificial intelligence (AI) software in identifying elevated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) from retinal fundus images. Participants underwent protocol-defined retinal imaging using Topcon NW400 and NW500 cameras. The study assessed agreement and consistency of device outputs across operators and imaging conditions. No medical management decisions were made based on device results.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall inter-operator reproducibility of the CLAiR ASCVD risk classification

    Inter-operator reproducibility will be assessed as the overall percent agreement between paired binary CLAiR outputs (Elevated Risk, Not Elevated Risk, or No Result) generated from retinal images acquired by different operators. Agreement will be calculated across all paired comparisons according to the predefined statistical analysis plan.

    Single study visit (approximately 2 hours)

Study Arms (1)

CLAiR Imaging Cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants underwent protocol-defined retinal fundus imaging using Topcon NW400 and NW500 cameras. Images were analyzed using the investigational CLAiR artificial intelligence software to evaluate performance and reproducibility. No clinical management decisions were made based on device outputs.

Device: CLAiR Artificial Intelligence Software

Interventions

CLAiR is an investigational software as a medical device (SaMD) designed to analyze retinal fundus images and classify individuals as having elevated or not elevated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The software was evaluated for performance and reproducibility under protocol-defined imaging conditions.

CLAiR Imaging Cohort
