About this study

Official title: This is a Single-masked Study to Compare Intravitreally Administered 0.5 mg Ranibizumab to 2.0 mg Ranibizumab in Subjects Who Manifest Persistent or Recurrent Macular Fluid Less Than 30 Days Following Treatment With Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Therapy.

This is a single-masked study to compare intravitreally administered 0.5 mg ranibizumab to 2.0 mg ranibizumab in subjects who manifest persistent or recurrent macular fluid less than 30 days following treatment with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy. Patients will be masked to their treatment assignment.

The study duration is anticipated to be 12 months and will enroll 30 subjects . Patients will be randomized 2:1 to either 2.0 mg ranibizumab or 0.5mg ranibizumab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ranibizumab in people with Age Related Macular Degeneration, run by Vitreous -Retina- Macula Consultants of New York 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 7 inclusion and 17 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 3 May 2018. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Oct 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Change in Visual Acuity (VA) From Baseline at Month 6 (time frame: Baseline and 6 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 3 May 2018.
