Photospectra is the first company in Canada and the USA to undertake a clinical trial of Photobiomodulation (PBM) for Dry AMD.
We expect PBM to be a major new treatment for dry AMD patients – safe, effective and affordable when proven in clinical studies. We are dedicated to proving the merits of PBM through ethical, responsible, well designed and well-executed clinical studies.
The TORPA trial was completed and presented at ARVO 2012. Further off label data has been presented internationally at ARVO 2016 in Seattle and Euretina 2016 in Copenhagen. This data has now been published in ACTA Ophthalmologica; a high impact, peer reviewed, international Ophthalmology journal.
Photospectra has noted some very exciting anatomical changes of drusen reduction in association with vision improvement.
