About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Pain and Visual Outcome Associated With Location of Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection

In this double blind clinical trial, 1000 patients suffering from diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, neovascularization due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy and cystoid macular edema secondary to retinal vascular occlusions are included. Those with the history of Ocular pain prior to the procedure, any contraindication for Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection (IVI), history of any kind of anterior segment conditions that could affect pain sensation, history of using systemic analgesic or sedative medications, history of previous eye surgery other than for cataract, glaucoma, uveitis and bullous keratopathy and poor cooperation in using the visual analogue scale (VAS) are excluded from the study. Before starting the treatment all patients undergo complete ophthalmic exam , best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) checking and macular thickness measurements using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Patients are randomly assigned to each group .Each participant receive one injection in one eye in this study. Pain is measured by subjective grading on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) immediately after IVI. BCVA and OCT would be checked again at month one.

Being tested
Anti-VEGF in quadrant 1, Anti-VEGF in quadrant 2, Anti-VEGF in quadrant 3, Anti-VEGF in quadrant 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Anti-VEGF in quadrant 1, Anti-VEGF in quadrant 2 and Anti-VEGF in quadrant 3 in people with Diabetic Macular Edema, run by Shahid Beheshti 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 1 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 30 Aug 2017. 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. 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 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?

Pain (time frame: immediately after Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection). 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 30 Aug 2017.
