Trial summary

In patients treated for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes, retinal venous occlusion (OVR), or other conditions causing macular edema, treatments with anti-angiogenic intravitreal injections (IVT) are widely used both for their anti-angiogenic action.

About this study

In patients treated for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes, retinal venous occlusion (OVR), or other conditions causing macular edema, treatments with anti-angiogenic intravitreal injections (IVT) are widely used both for their anti-angiogenic action. Patients often have injections for many years, sometimes monthly or every 2 months.

The discontinuation of treatment with repeated injections of anti-angiogenic agents, linked to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic will potentially impact the visual acuity, the ophthalmological state and the quality of life of the patients concerned, therefore it is relevant to analyze the consequences the breakdown of usual care in this population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of visual acuity in patients treated with repeated IVT anti-angiogens during the COVID-19 epidemic

    Change from baseline (last visual acuity before confinement) and visual acuity 6 months after resumption of follow-up

    Measured: Baseline (Before confinement) and 6 months after resumption of follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Age Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Macular Edema, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 4 sites in France.

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 2 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 3 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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 of visual acuity in patients treated with repeated IVT anti-angiogens during the COVID-19 epidemic (time frame: Baseline (Before confinement) and 6 months after resumption of follow-up). 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 NCT04395859, 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 3 Mar 2022.
