About this study
The primary objective:
*To measure the difference in the number of Ranibizumab therapies needed in 12 months in the Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) positive and Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) negative group.
Secondary Objective:
- To measure the mean change in visual acuity from Baseline to Month 12.
- To measure the mean change in central retinal thickness per OCT from Baseline to Month 12
Read the detailed description
This is an open-label study, of intravitreally administered Ranibizumab in eyes with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), specifically looking at the correlation between the presence of Posterior Vitreous Detachment(PVD) and the number of intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab required. 40 subjects from the offices of Vision Research Foundation will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be assigned to either a Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) positive group or a Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) negative group based on a pre-treatment ultrasound. A maximum of 20 subjects in each group will be enrolled. Subject accrual into the trial is expected to be completed within 6 months.
All study eyes will receive 0.5mg, of intravitreous monthly injections of Ranibizumab, for four initial doses,(Day 0, Month 1, Month 2, and Month 3),with scheduled follow-up visits monthly for 12 months. Re-treatment after the first 4 injections, will be on an as needed basis, based on predefined criteria. Eyes will be evaluated with a full ocular examination, visual acuity measurement (ETDRS chart at a distance of 4 meters),OCT,FA,Fundus Photos, B-scan Ultrasound and subject adverse event monitoring.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Ranibizumab in people with Choroidal Neovascularization, run by Vision Research Foundation 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 8 inclusion and 14 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 28 Jun 2012. 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.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Difference in the number of Ranibizumab therapies needed in 12 months in the Posterior Vitreous Detachment positive and Posterior Vitreous Detachment negative group (time frame: 12 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 28 Jun 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
