About this study

Official title: Study of Retinal and Vascular Features by Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography After Intravitreal Injections of Bevacizumab in Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration

This study evaluates the retinal and vascular features in patients with macular degeneration under the effects of Bevacizumab intravitreal injections using optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography.

Read the detailed description

Bevacizumab is a vascular endothelial growth factor antagonist represent an efficacy treatment for exudative age-related macular degeneration acting on vascular hyperpermeability.

The optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography represent novel and non-invasive diagnostic techniques that allow a detailed and quantitative analysis of retinal and vascular features.

The study evaluates the changes in optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography parameters at baseline and after three monthly injections of Bevacizumab in exudative AMD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Study of retinal structural features in exudative age-related macular degeneration after intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab

    The effectiveness of Bevacizumab injections for treating exudative age-related macular degeneration using optical coherence tomography. The parameters analyzed by optical coherence tomography: Central Macular Thickness and Subfoveal Choroidal thickness (microns).

    Measured: three months

  2. Study of retinal vascular features in exudative age-related macular degeneration after intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab

    The effectiveness of Bevacizumab injections for treating exudative age-related macular degeneration using optical coherence tomography angiography. The parameters analyzed by optical coherence tomography angiography were: retinal and choriocapillaris vessel density (%).

    Measured: three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration, run by Federico II University at 1 site in Italy.

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 24 Oct 2019. 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 Italy. 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?

Study of retinal structural features in exudative age-related macular degeneration after intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab (time frame: three months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Oct 2019.
