Trial summary

The intra-vitreous injection (IVT) of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) is currently the standard treatment for retinal neovascularization. The VEGF stimulates endothelial cells' proliferation and migration. It also increases microvascular permeability. Read more about this study

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.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients will be recruited during a consultation in ophtalmology after prescription of an anti-VEGF treatment. The study will not change the patient's usual care schedule. Only a different analysis of the images obtained by SD -OCT will be performed, and a gonioscopy will be carried out systematically the inclusion of patient and 12 months. The data for the study will be collected at the inclusion visit and at the final visit of the study at 12 months.

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥18 years old
  • Patients treated with anti-VEGF according to the French summary of product characteristics (SPC)
  • Patients who have been informed of the trial and who are not opposed to participate in the study

Who cannot join

  • Patients presenting a retinal condition, including the optic nerve
  • Patients treated with anti-VEGF in both eyes
  • Pregnant women
  • Lack of affiliation to social security or universal health coverage

About this study

The intra-vitreous injection (IVT) of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) is currently the standard treatment for retinal neovascularization. The VEGF stimulates endothelial cells' proliferation and migration. It also increases microvascular permeability. If the VEGFs have proven their efficiency in the decrease of choroidal neovascular proliferation, their impact of the head of the optic nerve's microvasculature is yet unknown. Knowing that this microvasculature provides the retinal nerve fibers with oxygen, located in the area of the head of the optic nerve, a vasoconstriction induced by the anti-VEGF may have an incidence on the loss of retinal nerve fibers.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in RNFL's thickness in the nasal quadrant of the optic nerve after intra-vitreous Injection of Anti-VEGF

    RNFL's thickness (in microns) measured with the Heildelberg glaucoma module of the spectral domain Optical Cohérence Tomographie (OCT Spectralis, Heidelberg engeening).

    Measured: Change from baseline RNFL's thickness at Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinal Neovascularization, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 3 sites in France.

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 4 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 3 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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.

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 RNFL's thickness in the nasal quadrant of the optic nerve after intra-vitreous Injection of Anti-VEGF (time frame: Change from baseline RNFL's thickness at Month 12). 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 3 Aug 2021.
