Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) with available initial imaging and documented treatment failure with bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or aflibercept. Treatment failure is defined as lack of anatomic improvement (persistent intraretinal cystic changes/macular edema with central subfield thickness greater than 250 microns on time-domain OCT or greater than 275 microns on spectral domain OCT) with lack of visual improvement (less than 2 lines of visual gain by Snellen acuity), despite 3 to 6 intravitreal anti-VEGF treatments over the preceding 6 months.

Who cannot join

  • Co-existing or pre-existing macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, or other confounding disease processes
  • Interval surgical intervention, such as cataract surgery, that may confound visual outcomes.
  • Pregnancy
  • Coexisting conditions that would represent relative or absolute contraindications usage of ozurdex implant, including:
  • Ocular or periocular infections (including viral disease of the cornea and conjunctiva such as active epithelial herpes simplex keratitis, vaccinia, varicella, mycobacterial infection, and fungal diseases)
  • Advanced glaucoma

  • Aphakic eyes with rupture or missing posterior lens capsule
  • Eyes with anterior chamber intraocular lens and missing posterior lens capsule
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to components of this product

About this study

Official title: Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant for Retinal Vein Occlusion Associated Macular Edema After Treatment Failure With Anti-VEGF Medications

To determine if Ozurdex implant can offer an effective treatment for macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion when treatment with intravitreal Avastin, Lucentis, or Eylea have not demonstrated a significant response.

Read the detailed description

To determine whether Ozurdex implant can offer an efficacious alternative for treatment of macular edema in the setting of retinal vein occlusion when treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin),ranibizumab (Lucentis), and/or aflibercept (Eylea) have not demonstrated significant response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ozurdex implant in people with Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) and Macular Edema, run by Retina Research Institute, LLC 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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2017. 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 was stopped early (reason given: enrollment not met). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Improvement in best-corrected Snellen visual acuity following initiation of Ozurdex therapy (time frame: 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 2 Dec 2017.
