About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Intravitreally Administered Ranibizumab in Subjects With Unresolving CSC and Subfoveal Fluid.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Lucentis for active Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, Phase I study of intravitreally administered ranibizumab in subjects with unresolving CSC and subfoveal fluid. 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 days (± 2 days) for 3 injections. Thereafter they are to be evaluated every month until month 12. Treatment will be administered to patients if there is presence of active leakage as determined by fluorescein angiography or persistence presence of sub retinal fluid upon OCT examination at that monthly visit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • rhuFab V2 [ranibizumab] ( Lucentis )Drug

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 chronic central serous retinopathy (CSC)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean change in VA compared to baseline at month 6 and month 12

  2. Proportion of patients with 20/20 vision at month 6 and 12 as compared to baseline

  3. Proportion of patients losing ≤ 15 letters as measured by ETDRS visual refraction at 4 meters compared to baseline at month 6 and 12

  4. Proportion of patients gaining ≥ 15 letters as measured by ETDRS visual refraction at 4 meters compared to baseline at month 6 and 12

  5. Change in subretinal fluid (as measured by optical coherence tomography) from baseline at month 3, 6, 9 and 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rhuFab V2 [ranibizumab] ( Lucentis ) in people with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy, 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 5 inclusion and 18 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 3 Nov 2008. 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 chronic central serous retinopathy (CSC). 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 3 Nov 2008.
