Treatment of Radiation Retinopathy With Open-Label Anecortave Acetate Sterile Suspension (15 mg)
A Phase 2 study testing Anecortave Acetate in people with Eye Injuries, run by Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Radiation retinopathy is a disease of the retina. It occurs in people who have received or been exposed to radiation near the eyes. The blood vessels are abnormal and may grow which lead to scarring and a loss of central vision. Currently, the treatment for radiation retinopathy is laser photocoagulation.

About this study
Radiation retinopathy is a disease of the retina. It occurs in people who have received or been exposed to radiation near the eyes. The blood vessels are abnormal and may grow which lead to scarring and a loss of central vision. Currently, the treatment for radiation retinopathy is laser photocoagulation. This treatment has been found to have limited use in this type of condition. Compassionate use of anecortave acetate injection is being considered to prevent the growth of the blood vessels under the retina.
Read the detailed description
Patients will receive an injection of 15 mg of Anecortave acetate behind the eye to be treated ("study eye"). They will be evaluated every six months to determine if their condition is stable or worse. Following the injection of study medication, patients will not be required to come in to see the study physician. The investigator or study staff will call the patients on the day following injection to make sure there were no adverse effects to the injection. Patients will then come in for a Month 1 and a Month 3 follow-up visit. At the Month 3 follow-up visit, if patients are not showing stability or improvement, they may be offered either thermal laser or Photodynamic Therapy. They will remain in the study and remain eligible for a repeat injection of Anecortave Acetate at the Month 6 visit.
Patients will then been seen at Month 6 for a Re-treatment Evaluation Visit. If their condition is stable, they will be offered re-injection with the same study medication they received earlier. If Patients are not showing stability or improvement at the Month 6 visit, they may be offered thermal laser or Photodynamic Therapy in conjunction with the Anecortave Acetate injection.
Patients will then come back again for a Month 1 and a Month 3 visit and an Exit Visit, if necessary. If the patient's condition is worse, patients will be exited from this study and offered standard treatment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Anecortave Acetate in people with Eye Injuries, 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2007. 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 stopped early (reason given: poor enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.
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 in radiation retinopathy (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 21 Jun 2007.
