Trial summary

Ozurdex(TM) has recently been FDA approved for use in macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion. It remains unclear how quickly the drug works and for how long as the initial studies did not have frequent anatomic monitoring. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Anatomic Outcomes Following Ozurdex Injection

Ozurdex(TM) has recently been FDA approved for use in macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion. It remains unclear how quickly the drug works and for how long as the initial studies did not have frequent anatomic monitoring. This study will utilize frequent Spectral domain OCT imaging to better understand the onset of treatment effectiveness and duration of action on the anatomic thickness of the retina, in addition to distinguishing structural abnormalities of responders from non-responders.

Read the detailed description

Focal laser therapy has been the gold standard for the treatment of macular edema secondary to branch vein occlusion (BRVO), though it has not been shown to be effective for central vein occlusion (CRVO). Intravitreal corticosteroids have been shown in many case series to be effective at diminishing macular edema secondary to both BRVO and CRVO. Sustained drug delivery models have been sought after to relieve the need for frequent injections. Ozurdex has recently been found to be effective for the treatment of macular edema following BRVO or CRVO and has been approved by the FDA for these indications. The onset of effectiveness and duration of action on the anatomic thickness of the retina have not yet been demonstrated. In addition, it is uncertain as to when the clinician can label the patient as a responder or nonresponder. We also believe this study will help identify patients that may need more frequent dosing schedules.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinal Vein Occlusions, run by Barnes Retina Institute 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 1 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 27 Jul 2016. 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.

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 27 Jul 2016.
