About this study

Official title: Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings After Intravitreal Ranibizumab in Patients With Coats Disease

This study evaluates the retinal and vascular features in patients affected by Coats disease under the effects of Ranibizumab intravitreal injections using optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography

Read the detailed description

Coats disease is an idiopathic retinal vascular disorder, occurs in young males, and is characterized by retinal telangiactasias, numerous yellowish exudates in the subretinal space, macular edema, hemorrhages and, in advanced end-stage, by exudative retinal detachment.

Ranibizumab is a vascular endothelial growth factor antagonist represent an efficacy treatment acting on vascular hyperpermeability. The optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography represent novel and non-invasive diagnostic techniques that allow a detailed analysis of retinal and vascular features. The study evaluates the changes in optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography parameters at baseline and after three monthly injections of Ranibizumab in Coats disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Ranibizumab InjectionDrug

    Ranibizumab Injection (0.5 mg/0.05 ml): Three monthly intravitreal injections

What is being measured

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

  1. Study of retinal and vascular features in Coats disease after intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab

    The effectiveness of Ranibizumab injections for treating Coats disease using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

    The parameters analyzed by OCT were:

    Central Macular Thickness (micron), Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness (micron)

    Measured: Three months

  2. Study of retinal and vascular features in Coats disease after intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab

    The effectiveness of Ranibizumab injections for treating Coats disease using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)

    The parameters analyzed by OCTA were:

    retinal vessel density (%), choriocapillaris vessel density (%)

    Measured: Three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coats Disease, run by Federico II University at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 17 Mar 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

Study of retinal and vascular features in Coats disease after intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab (time frame: Three months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Mar 2020.
