About this study

Official title: Collaborative Ocular Antiangiogenic Study of Ukraine. Multicentral, Open-label, Randomized, Prospective Study of Antiangiogenic Therapy of Choroidal Neovascularisation Associated With Myopia

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of antiangiogenic therapy to choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of antiangiogenic therapy to choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia.

This study is planned as a follow-up. Patients with myopia included in it will receive antiangiogenic therapy in accordance with the approved indications for use indicated in the instructions for the use of drugs in Ukraine.

The treatment proposed in this study is based on the world experience and scientific developments of the Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy of the NAMS of Ukraine ". Therefore, it is expected that the benefit / risk ratio in relation to the participation in this study should not be different from that described in the scientific literature and the benefits outweigh the risk. It is known that the absence of treatment in these diseases leads to an irreparable loss of central vision.

Patients with a pathologic myopia with CNV (native) will be treated with antiangiogenic drugs according to the regimen pro re nata.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) as Measured by ETDRS Chart

    Defined study baseline range of ETDRS equivalent of 20/200 to 20/20) in the study eye; a higher score represents better functioning.

    Measured: Baseline-Month 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mean Change in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) as Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

    A negative number indicates improvement (reduced thickness).

    Measured: Baseline-Month 12

  2. Average Number of Intravitreal Injections

    The number of intravitreal injections administered

    Measured: Baseline-Month 12

  3. Number of Endophthalmitis after Intravitreal Injections

    The number of endophthalmitis registered in patients after intravitreal injections

    Measured: Baseline-Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intravitreal injection in people with Pathologic Myopia, run by The Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy at 3 sites in Ukraine.

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 8 inclusion and 21 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 25 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Ukraine. 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?

Mean Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) as Measured by ETDRS Chart (time frame: Baseline-Month 12). 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 NCT03963596, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jan 2023.
