About this study

Official title: The Randomized Double-blind Controlled Clinical Trial of Combination of Intravitreal Ranibizumab With or Without Macular Laser Photocoagulation for Macular Edema Secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

To investigate the efficacy of laser photocoagulation combined with ranibizumab intravitreal injection in macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in long term.

Read the detailed description

To investigate the efficacy of ranibizumab intravitreal injections-driven by achieving vision acuity stabilization compared to combination with laser photocoagulation in Chinese patients with visual impairment in ME due to BRVO.

The result of the trial will be used to support new therapy in the BRVO in China.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ranibizumab combined macular laserProcedure or surgery

    subjects in one group receive both macular laser photocoagulation and ranibizumab injections but ones in the other group just received ranibizumab injection.

  • RanibizumabDrug

    Also called Lucentis

    all subjections received 3+PRN ranibizumab injections by BCVA stabilization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ranibizumab combined macular laser and Ranibizumab in people with Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion and Ranibizumab, run by Beijing Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 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 28 Dec 2022. 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 China. 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?

visual acuity changes (time frame: one year). 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 NCT03054766, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 28 Dec 2022.
