Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Signed informed consent and authorization of use and disclosure of protected health information

About this study

Official title: RanibizumabDosE Comparison (0.5mg and 2.0mg) and the Role of LAser in the ManagemenT of REtinal Vein Occlusion - A Pharmacodynamic Approach(RELATE)

The primary Objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intraocular injections of 0.5mg or 2.0mg of ranibizumab in patients with macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion.

Read the detailed description

The secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of 0.5mg versus 2.0mg of monthly ranibizumab injections in patients with macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion between baseline and month 6. At week 24, patients will be re-randomized to receive pro re nata (prn) ranibizumab+laser photocoagulation versus ranibizumab alone and the efficacy of both treatment options will be compared. Treatment efficacy will be assessed by comparing changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central subfiled thickness (CST) between the treatment groups.

Being tested
Ranibizumab 0.5mg (monthly), Ranibizumab 2.0mg (monthly), Pro re nata (prn) ranibizumab, Pro re nata (prn) Laser photocoagulation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ranibizumab 0.5mg (monthly), Ranibizumab 2.0mg (monthly) and Pro re nata (prn) ranibizumab in people with Retinal Vein Occlusion, run by Peter A Campochiaro, MD 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 15 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 15 Mar 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Mar 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence and Severity of Ocular and Non-ocular Adverse Events. (time frame: 36 months). 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 15 Mar 2016.
