About this study

The introduction of additional fluid into the vitreous cavity by intravitreal therapy would be expected to cause an immediate rise in the intraocular pressure. This transient, short-term intraocular pressure elevation (lasting up to 30 minutes) after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has been well describe. The investigators aim to study the prevalence of the sustained intraocular pressure elevation associated with intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents.

Read the detailed description

Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents are commonly used to treat a variety of retinal and choroidal neovascular diseases. The introduction of additional fluid into the vitreous cavity by intravitreal therapy would be expected to cause an immediate rise in the intraocular pressure.

Although there is one study showed no significant changes in the intraocular pressure many retrospective studies showed the impacts on the intraocular pressure elevation. The investigators aim to prospective evaluate the intraocular pressure change in non-glaucomatous patients receiving an intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intravitreal injection (bevacizumab or ranibizumab)Drug

    Also called anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent

    The intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent of 0.1 ml of bevacizumab (2.5 mg/0.1 ml) or ranibizumab (1 mg/0.1 ml)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in intraocular pressure

    intraocular pressure change at 6-month after injection

    Measured: 6-month after injection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of anti-glaucoma used

    Start anti-glaucoma If there is an increase in intraocular pressure over the target IOP

    Measured: 6-month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intraocular Pressure, run by Prince of Songkla University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 17 Jun 2015. 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 Thailand. 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?

Change from baseline in intraocular pressure (time frame: 6-month after injection). 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 17 Jun 2015.
