About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Ziv Aflibercept in Myopic Choroidal Neovascularisation ,Central Retinal Vein Occlusion and Resistant Diabetic Macular Edema

A prospective interventional case series study was conducted on 20 eyes of 20 patients with active myopic choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) ,20 eyes with resistant diabetic macular edema and 15 eyes with non ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion(CRVO) after approval of the Ethical Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University . All procedures were carried out under the tenets of the Helsinki Declaration. Written consent was provided by all participants after discussing the procedure, alternative treatment plans, follow-up schedules, and possible benefits and risks.

Read the detailed description

Intravitreal injection of 1.25 mg of ziv aflibercept was done in different retinal diseases including myopic CVN,resistant diabetic macular edema to previous ranibizumab injection and non ischaemic CRVO .Thorough ophthalmic evaluation was done including BCVA(best corrected visual acuity) ,anterior and posterior segment examination ,fundus fluorescein angiography and OCT(optical coherence tomography) were performed for all patients .Injection was repeated as PRN(pro re nata) method after one month if persistent intraretinal or subretinal fluid was found.

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement of BCVA by log MAR(minimum angle of resolution) and reduction of CMT after intravitreal injection

    To assess sustained improvement of BCVA(Best corrected visual acuity) and reduction of the CMT (central macular thickness) after intravitreal injection of zivaflibercept

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ziv-Aflibercept 25 MG/ML [Zaltrap] in people with Central Retinal Vein Occlusion With Macular Edema, run by Amin El Sayed Nawar at 1 site in Egypt.

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 9 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 11 Oct 2021. 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 Egypt. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Improvement of BCVA by log MAR(minimum angle of resolution) and reduction of CMT after intravitreal injection (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT04290195, which also lists 3 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 11 Oct 2021.
