About this study

Official title: Short Term Intraocular Pressure Fluctuations After Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection: the Effect of Pretreatment With Antiglaucoma Agents

To assess the effect of prophylactic antiglaucoma agents in prevention of acute intraocular pressure rise after intravitreal injection.

Read the detailed description

Acute intraocular pressure elevation after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab was proven.Acute intraocular pressure elevation most probably is volume related and long term intraocular pressure elevation relates to pharmacologic features of the medications which results in anatomic changes in the angle of anterior chamber.Numerous studies found an intraocular pressure elevation right after the injection and quick normalization within maximally 30 minutes.This intraocular pressure elevation which lasts about 30 minutes, can result in irreversible visual loss especially in patients with critical remaining nerve fibers in the optic nerve head, as occurs in glaucomatous patients. Is there any way to prevent or even shorten this time of intraocular pressure elevation? We tried in our study to find a suitable response for a question above, so we used several anti-glaucoma agents (Timolol, Brimonidine, Acetazolamide, Mannitol versus placebo) as a prophylaxis to prevent acute intraocular pressure elevation right after intravitreal bevacizumab injection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Timolol, Brimonidine and Acetazolamide in people with Intraocular Pressure Change in Intravitreal Injection, run by Mashhad University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 16 May 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 Iran. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

change in IOP (time frame: 0, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes after injection). 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 NCT02140450, 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.

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 16 May 2014.
