  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All subjects must meet the following criteria to be eligible for study entry:
  • Signed informed consent and authorization of use and disclosure of protected health information
  • Age = 18 years
  • Presence of iris neovascularization and or angle neovascularization due to any retinal ischemic disease that is new onset or noted to progress recently on the slit lamp examination or gonioscopy

If both eyes are eligible, the investigator will select the eye to be enrolled. Visual acuity in the non-study eye must be better than no light perception
  • Patient is able and willing to return for all scheduled visits

Who cannot join

  • Use of intraocular or periocular injection of steroids (for, example triamcinolone) in the study eye within 3 months of the study
  • Use of intraocular injection of anti-angiogenic drugs in the study eye and or participation in a clinical trial using an antiangiogenic treatment within 45 days from the enrollment in the study.
  • Acute endophthalmitis within 1 month.
  • Recent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or macular hole surgery within last 2 months

About this study

The object of the study is to compare treatment of iris/angle neovascularization with panretinal photocoagulation (laser) to treatment with panretinal photocoagulation and an anti-angiogenic drug: ranibizumab.

Read the detailed description

A.To obtain preliminary data on the safety and tolerability of ranibizumab (0.5 mg)in patients with new or progressive neovascularization of the iris or angle due to retinal ischemic diseases in addition to treatment with PRP using the incidence and severity of adverse events identified by subjenc reporting vital signs, and ocular examition.

B.To assess the proportion of patients who fail to experience regression of iris and angle neovascularization documented by the clinical examination, iris florescein angiography and gonioscopic evaluation.

Being tested
Panretinal Photocoagulation, Panretinal Photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of ranibizumab

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence and severity of adverse events identified by subject reporting, vital signs, and ocular exam.

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

  2. The proportion of patients who fail to maintain regression of iris and angle neovascularization documented by the clinical examination iris fluorescein angiography and gonioscopic evaluation.

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. The mean change in best corrected visual acuity score

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

  2. The percentage/number of patients that experience vision loss of 30 letters or less

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

  3. The percentage number of patients that experience vision improvement of more than 15 letters

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

  4. The percentage/number of patients whose vision progressed to no light perception

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

  5. The mean change in macular thickness on OCT

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

  6. The percentage/number of eyes that will require surgical intervention to maintain the intraocular pressure or useful vision

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

  7. The percentage/ number of eyes that will require anti-glaucoma medications to control intraocular pressure

    Measured: 1 to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Panretinal Photocoagulation and Panretinal Photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in people with Retinal Ischemia, run by Southern New England Retina 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 19 Nov 2014. 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 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.

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

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?

The incidence and severity of adverse events identified by subject reporting, vital signs, and ocular exam. (time frame: 1 to 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Nov 2014.
