About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Ranibizumab in Subjects With Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) or Macular Edema Secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) Who Have Completed a Genentech-Sponsored Ranibizumab Study

This is an open-label, multicenter, extension study of intravitreally administered ranibizumab in two cohorts. The first cohort (reported separately under FVF3426g, NCT00379795) enrolled subjects with primary or recurrent Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) who completed the treatment phase of a Genentech sponsored study (FVF2598g (NCT00056836), FVF2587g (NCT00061594), or FVF2428g (NCT00056823)). The second cohort (reported here) enrolled subjects with macular edema secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) who completed the 6-month treatment and 6-month observation phases (12 months total) of a Genentech sponsored study (FVF4165g (NCT00486018) or FVF4166g (NCT00485836)). Patients were enrolled within 14 days of completion of the previous study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Ocular Adverse Events in the Study Eye

    Number of participants with: any ocular adverse events, ocular adverse events causing treatment discontinuation, ocular serious adverse events, intraocular inflammation and cataracts that occurred in the study eye.

    Only adverse events that occurred during this extension study are reported. For subjects in the crossover groups who started their first ranibizumab injection in this extension study, adverse events that occurred prior to any ranibizumab injection were also excluded.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Number of Participants With Non-ocular Adverse Events

    Number of participants with non-ocular adverse events (not occurring in the eye) in the following categories: any adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to study discontinuation and death.

    Only adverse events that occurred during this extension study are reported. For subjects in the crossover groups who started their first ranibizumab injection in this extension study, adverse events that occurred prior to any ranibizumab injection were also excluded.

    Additional information about adverse events can be found in the adverse events section.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in the Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

    Change from baseline in then BCVA was assessed by the number of letters a patient could read correctly on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Eye Chart at a Starting Test Distance of 4 Meters. An increase in the number of letters read indicates improvement in visual acuity.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0 of extension study), Months 6, 12, 18, and 24

  2. Change From Baseline in Central Foveal Thickness at Month 6 and Month 12

    Change from baseline in Central foveal (retinal) thickness was assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). OCT was conducted at the study sites by personnel who were certified by the University of Wisconsin Fundus Photograph Reading Center.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0 of extension study), Months 6 and 12

  3. Change From Baseline in Visual Function Composite Score, as Measured by the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI VFQ-25)

    NEI VFQ-25 is a 25 item questionnaire that assesses visual function and quality of life for a total possible score of 0 to 100. A higher score represents better functioning. The change from baseline is calculated at Month 12 and Month 24.

    Participants are grouped according to the treatment they received in initial studies FVF4165g BRAVO (NCT00486018) and FVF4166g CRUISE (NCT00485836).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0 of extension study), Months 12 and 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ranibizumab 0.5 mg in people with Macular Edema and Retinal Vein Occlusion, run by Genentech, Inc..

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

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Number of Participants With Ocular Adverse Events in the Study Eye (time frame: Up to 24 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 10 Jan 2012.
