About this study

Retinal Vein Occlusion is a blockage of the blood vessels that drain out of the retina. Complications of retinal vein occlusion which threaten vision include neovascularization(growth of new blood vessels)and macular edema ( accumulation of fluid "leaking" from abnormal blood vessels). Currently, the treatment of retinal vein occlusion is laser photocoagulation. This treatment has found to have limited use in this type of condition.Anecortave Acetate is being considered as an attempt to control the growth of the abnormal blood vessels.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Anecortave Acetate in people with Retinal Vein Occlusion, run by Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2009. 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 United States. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

to investigate the use of anecortave acetate for treatment of retinal vein occlusion (time frame: 24 months). 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 4 Feb 2009.
