Trial summary

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV), also known as subretinal neovascularization, is a proliferative change from choroidal capillaries that has become one of the most important causes of blindness worldwide. CNV can occur in a variety of fundus diseases, including pathologic myopia, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study on the Biomarkers to Predict the Response to Anti-vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Treatment for Choroidal Neovascularization

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV), also known as subretinal neovascularization, is a proliferative change from choroidal capillaries that has become one of the most important causes of blindness worldwide. CNV can occur in a variety of fundus diseases, including pathologic myopia, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. At present, intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs is the first-line effective treatment for CNV. Although a number of clinical studies have shown that the treatment of CNV with anti-VEGF drugs has achieved good visual and anatomical effects, there are still some patients whose CNV has not decreased significantly or even progressed continuously after treatment. Rapid advances in imaging technology have made it possible to explore the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of choroid and CNV, especially swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

The objectives are to improve the OCTA typing of CNV and analyze the vascular morphological characteristics of each type; to identify the changes in vascular characteristics of CNV after anti-VEGF treatment in vitreous cavity; and to elucidate the predictive effects of neovascularization and choroidal vascular characteristics on visual acuity and anatomic effects of vitreous anti-VEGF drug treatment for CNV.

What is being measured

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

  1. choroidal thickness

    central choroidal thickness measured by SS-OCTA

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Central retinal thickness

    central retinal thickness changes measured by SS-OCTA

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Best-corrected visual acuity

    Best-corrected visual acuity changes from baseline to 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. choroidal vascularity index

    the ratio of vascular area to the total choroidal area measured by SS-OCTA

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Choroidal Neovascularization, run by Beijing Hospital.

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 3 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 7 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

choroidal thickness (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 3 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 7 Feb 2024.
