About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ranibizumab (0.5 mg) in Patients With Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration Over 12 Months

The purpose of the study is to provide efficacy and safety data for monthly ranibizumab 0.5 mg intravitreal injections in Chinese patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study results will support the regulatory submission in China to make ranibizumab available for clinical use.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate efficacy of ranibizumab 0.5 mg by mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from Baseline to Month 4 as assessed with early treatment of diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) like charts at a distance of 4 meters.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the effects of ranibizumab 0.5 mg on the change in BCVA from Baseline to Month 12.

    Measured: 12 Months

  2. To evaluate effects of ranibizumab 0.5 mg on retinal structure at Month 4 and Month 12 as assessed by fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography.

    Measured: 12 Months

  3. To evaluate safety of ranibizumab 0.5 mg by rates of adverse events/SAEs, ophthalmic exams, tonometry, and changes in laboratory values/vital signs at Months 4 and 12.

    Measured: 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ranibizumab 0.5 mg in people with Age Related Macular Degeneration, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 6 sites in China.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does this phase mean?

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?

To evaluate efficacy of ranibizumab 0.5 mg by mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from Baseline to Month 4 as assessed with early treatment of diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) like charts at a distance of 4 meters. (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 NCT00826371, 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.
