What participants receive

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

  • ranibizumab (Lucentis)Drug

    Also called Lucentis

    0.5 mg, administered intravitreally every 4 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome measures are changes in the VFQ-25, GHQ-12, and PHQ-9 survey scores from baseline through 24 weeks.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary outcome measures are change in macular edema measured by OCT and estimated by central retinal thickening and correlations between change in visual acuity, depression, and retinal findings such as neovascularization, rubeosis, and perfusion.

    Measured: 24 weeks
