  • Media clarity, pupillary dilation and patient cooperation sufficient to allow OCT testing and retinal photography

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) or known to be pregnant, also premenopausal women not using adequate contraception.
  • Participation in another simultaneous ocular investigation or trial
  • Patient with uncontrolled hypertension
  • Patient has a condition that, in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study (i.e. chronic alcoholism, drug abuse)
  • Patient has significant diabetic retinopathy (greater than moderate NPDR) or macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy

Show all 21Show fewer
  • Eye that in the investigator has no chance of improvement in visual acuity following resolution of macular edema (i.e subretinal fibrosis or geographic atrophy)
  • Any other additional ocular diseases which could irreversibly compromise the visual acuity of the study eye including amblyopia, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), age related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal detachment, severe cataracts, etc.
  • Evidence of neovascularization of the iris or retina (presence of ischemic CRVO)
  • History of Grid/Focal laser or Panretinal laser in the study eye
  • History of vitreous surgery in the study eye
  • History of use of intravitreal, peribulbar, or retrobulbar steroids within six months of the study.
  • History of Cataract Surgery within 6 months of enrollment.
  • History of YAG capsulotomy within 2 months of the surgery.
  • Visual acuity <20/400 in the fellow eye
  • Uncontrolled Glaucoma, pressure >30 despite treatment with glaucoma medications.
  • Use of Bevacizumab in either eye within the past 30 days
  • Use of Pegaptinib sodium in either eye within the past 6 weeks
  • Use of Triamcinolone in either eye

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Intravitreally Administered Ranibizumab in 20 Subjects With Macular Edema Associated With CRVO.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Lucentis for active Central Retinal Vein Occlusion with Macular Edema

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, Phase I study of intravitreally administered ranibizumab in 20 subjects with macular edema associated with CRVO. Patients will be evaluated at baseline with ophthalmic examination, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and color photography. Subjects will receive open-label intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab administered every 28 ± 2 days for a total of 3 injections. Thereafter they are to be evaluated every month until month 12. If the patients have signs of increased intraretinal hemorrhage or a persistence / increase in central macular edema as determined by optical coherence tomography when compared to their last visit, are eligible for re-injection at that monthly visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the safety and tolerability of 0.5 mg dose of Ranibizumab in the treatment of Macular Edema associated with CRVO

    Measured: 72 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of patients losing ≤ 15 letters as measured by ETDRS visual refraction at 4 meters compared to baseline at month 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72

    Measured: Months 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72

  2. Proportion of patients gaining ≥ 15 letters as measured by ETDRS visual refraction at 4 meters compared to baseline at month 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72.

    Measured: Months 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72

  3. Change in central retinal thickness as measured by OCT at months 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 compared to baseline

    Measured: Months 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72

  4. Proportion of subjects losing ≥ 30 letters as measured by ETDRS visual refraction at month 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72

    Measured: Months 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ranibizumab (Lucentis ) in people with Retinal Vein Occlusion, run by Vitreous -Retina- Macula Consultants of New York at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the safety and tolerability of 0.5 mg dose of Ranibizumab in the treatment of Macular Edema associated with CRVO (time frame: 72 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jan 2016.
