About this study

Official title: Determining Optimal Treatment Algorithms for Macular Degeneration Pigment Epithelial Detachments Treated With Intraocular Lucentis

Patients with neovascular Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the particular feature of pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) were not studied in the Phase III trials for ranibizumab (Lucentis). The PrONTO study was the first ranibizumab study to enroll such patients but only treated with ranibizumab until fluid within the layers of the retina was absent, not until the entire PED was absent. This study hypothesizes that there may be a difference in benefit between patients treated until just the retinal edema is gone and those in which the retinal edema and PED are both gone.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group1Active comparatorWill receive ranibizumab treatments until resolution of macular edema only and as macular edema recurs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change in visual acuity from baseline over 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to OCT resolution of macular edema and pigment epithelial detachment

    Measured: One year

  2. Proportion of patients with complete resolution of PED at 6 and 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Durability of outcome: time from last ranibizumab injection to retreatment

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing ranibizumab in people with Age-related Macular Degeneration and Pigment Epithelial Detachment, run by Pacific Eye Associates 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 4 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 12 Apr 2012. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Mean change in visual acuity from baseline over 12 months (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00590694, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Apr 2012.
