About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Efficacy of Intravitreal Bevacizumab Retreatments

Choroidal neovascularization is a leading cause of visual loss in people older than 60 years and for its treatment there had been performed multicentric studies with Lucentis (Ranibizumab) with a significant improval of visual acuity. In our institution we evaluated efficacy of bevacizumab in several pathologies but we dont know what would be the results if we use the same dose several times. Our purpose was to determine the efficacy of bevacizumab for improve or stabilize visual acuity with two or more intravitreal inyections of bevacizumab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab in people with Age Related Macular Degeneration and Choroidal Neovascularization, run by Asociación para Evitar la Ceguera en México at 1 site in Mexico.

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 3 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 3 Jun 2024. 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 Mexico. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 accrual). 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?

Best corrected visual acuity, OCT foveal thickness and fluorescein angiogram. 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 3 Jun 2024.
