About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Nonrandomized, Phase IIIb, Single Dose Study to Evaluated the Changes in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fluorescein Angiography (FA) After Intravitreal Injection of Lucentis® in Patients With Macular Edema Secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of intravitreal Lucentis® (Ranibizumab) and investigate the anatomical and functional improvement following this treatment in patients with macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

What participants receive

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

  • ranibizumabDrug

    Also called Lucentis®

    ranibizumab 0.5mg (0.05ml volume), intravitreal injection first 3 injection every 4 weeks additional injection (optional) according to the judgement of doctor

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in ETDRS visual acuity letter scores from baseline. The change in the 1-mm central retinal thickness as measured by OCT from baseline.

    Measured: every 4 weeks (up to 52 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The intraretinal structure changes in OCT. Progression of avascular area by FA. Number of additional treatments. Intraocular safety (endophthalmitis, uveitis, increase in intraocular pressure, etc).

    Measured: every 4 weeks (up to 52 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ranibizumab in people with Macular Edema and Retinal Vein Occlusion, run by Novartis Korea Ltd. at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 29 Sep 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 South Korea. 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 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?

The change in ETDRS visual acuity letter scores from baseline. The change in the 1-mm central retinal thickness as measured by OCT from baseline. (time frame: every 4 weeks (up to 52 weeks)). 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 29 Sep 2016.
