About this study

Official title: Seven Year Observational Update of Macular Degeneration Patients Post-MARINA/ANCHOR and HORIZON Trials (SEVEN UP Study)

The purpose is to assess long term vision outcomes and disease status in patients with age-related macular degeneration previously treated with ranibizumab as participants in the Phase 3 ANCHOR and MARINA Studies and the HORIZON Study.

Read the detailed description

This is a cross-sectional cohort study of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients seven or more years after initiation of the intravitreal ranibizumab regimen in the treatment arms of the pivotal ANCHOR or MARINA studies, who had subsequent follow up in the HORIZON Study. While the MARINA and ANCHOR studies established the benefit of ranibizumab at 2 years, many patients in the U.S. have now undergone treatment for many years, and the longer-term outcomes for this chronic disease remain unknown. Despite earlier hopes for limited duration treatment, subsequent clinical experience suggests that many patients require continued treatment. The patient population for this study is unique, in that the patients in the treatment arms of MARINA and ANCHOR are some of the earliest treated patients, providing the longest-term data available for AMD patients receiving ranibizumab. Patients recalled into this study will be evaluated to provide an update on their current visual acuity, disease activity status, anatomic characteristics, and genotype. There is a single study visit to extend the clinical history and to perform vision testing, ophthalmologic examination, and retinal imaging studies, including high-resolution spectral-domain OCT and fundus autofluorescence imaging, technologies unavailable at the time of the original ANCHOR and MARINA Trials. Genetic analysis will be performed for known AMD risk genes as well as candidate genes to study genotypic profiles associated with AMD disease progression and long-term treatment response. Understanding the course of 7-plus years of current generation AMD treatment will serve physicians in the ongoing management of this chronic disease.

ranibizumab in MARINA/ANCHORExudative AMD patients previously enrolled in the ranibizumab treatment arms of the MARINA or ANCHOR studies with subsequent enrollment into the HORIZON extension study.

What is being measured

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

  1. visual acuity 20/70 or better

    percentage of study eyes with vision of 20/70 or better (ETDRS best-corrected vision with Snellen equivalent)

    Measured: at date of study visit

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. mean change in visual acuity

    Mean change in ETDRS best-corrected vision in study eyes, relative to baseline, exit from MARINA or ANCHOR, and exit from HORIZON

    Measured: at study visit

  2. visual acuity 20/200 or worse

    % of study eyes with ETDRS best-corrected visual acuity 20/200 or worse

    Measured: at date of study visit

  3. visual acuity 20/40 or better

    % of study eyes with ETDRS best-corrected visual acuity 20/40 or better

    Measured: at date of study visit

  4. exudative AMD disease quiescence

    % of eyes that have attained disease quiescence, defined by: 1) No leakage (SRF, PED, CME, CFT greater than 250 um on OCT) on clinical exam or on studies. 2) no subretinal intraretinal hemorrhage on clinical exam or FA, 3) Historical: none of the above in the last 6 months by chart review or history, and no treatment for exudative AMD within the last 6 months.

    Measured: at date of study visit and 6 months prior history

  5. central geographic atrophy

    % of patients: 1) with central geographic atrophy (GA); 2) demonstrating progression of GA compared to baseline, exit from MARINA/ANCHOR, and exit from HORIZON; 3) with fellow eye GA development. GA measured by: fundus autofluorescence, high resolution OCT, and by interval comparison of fundus photography and fluorescein angiography

    Measured: date of study visit

  6. genotypic profile

    Genome-wide screening for high interest genes for associations with: geographic atrophy, disciform scar, current disease activity, therapeutic response to ranibizumab therapy

    Measured: date of study visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Age-related Macular Degeneration, run by University of California, San Francisco at 12 sites 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 1 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 14 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites 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?

visual acuity 20/70 or better (time frame: at date of study visit). 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 14 Nov 2013.
