Trial summary

Recently studies have shown that intravitreal injection of ranibizumab is effective for age related macular degeneration. However there are problems about injection regimen of maintenance phase. We plan to perform new simplified treat and extend regimen using ranibizumab. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy and Continuance Rate of Treatment in Simplified Treat And Extend Regimen Using Ranibizumab in Exudative Age Related Macular Degeneration

Recently studies have shown that intravitreal injection of ranibizumab is effective for age related macular degeneration. However there are problems about injection regimen of maintenance phase. We plan to perform new simplified treat and extend regimen using ranibizumab.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the simplified treat and extend regimen using ranibizumab in eyes with wet age related macular degeneration about best-corrected visual acuity, central retinal thickness, the disappearance rate of the morphological change and treatment continuous rate.

What is being measured

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

  1. A change from baselines best corrected visual acuity at 24 months

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. A drop-out rate of the 3 and 12 months

    Measured: 3 and 12 months

  2. A treatment continuance rate until 24 months

    Measured: 24 months

  3. A change of best corrected visual acuity at 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

  4. A change from baselines central retinal thickness measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography at 12 and 24 months

    Measured: 12 and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ranibizumab in people with Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration, run by Mie University at 1 site in Japan.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2014. 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 Japan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A change from baselines best corrected visual acuity at 24 months (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02328209, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 Dec 2014.
