The Childhood Atropine for Myopia Progression (CHAMP) study is a 3-arm randomized, multicenter, double-masked, placebo-controlled study that's ongoing at more than 20 sites across the country and in Europe! Stage 1 of the trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of using low-concentration atropine or placebo to slow myopia progression. Stage 2 is a randomized cross-over phase of 1 year in duration, during which subjects will be re-randomized to receive one of the three study medications.
Treatment arms are:
low dose atropine 0.01%
low dose atropine 0.02%
