Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Trap-Eye: Investigation of Efficacy and Safety in Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) (NCT NCT01012973)

NCT ID: NCT01012973

Last Updated: 2014-11-03

Results Overview

Defined study baseline range of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letter score of 73 to 24 (= Acuity of 20/40 to 20/320) in the study eye; a higher score represents better functioning. Nominator = (Number of participants who maintained vision \* 100); Denominator = Number of participants analyzed.

Measure
Aflibercept Injection First, Then Aflibercept Injection
Participants received a 2 mg dose of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI) administered every 4 weeks from Day 1 through Week 20, later as often as every 4 weeks depending on the study retreatment criteria from Week 24 through Week 48. Follow-up phase: Participants on IAI, who continued the study, received 2 mg dose of IAI depending on the study retreatment criteria at Week 60 and 68.
Sham Treatment First, Then Aflibercept Injection
Participants received sham treatment administered every 4 weeks from Day 1 through Week 52. Follow-up phase: Participants on sham treatment, who switched to Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI), received a 2 mg dose of IAI at week 52 and depending on the study retreatment criteria at Week 60 and 68.

Population: Full analysis set

Defined study baseline range of ETDRS Best Corrected Visual Acuity letter score of 73 to 24 (= Acuity of 20/40 to 20/320) in the study eye; a higher score represents better functioning. However, because this was assessed at the screening visit, subjects may have had a higher BCVA recorded at the baseline visit and would not have been excluded from the study.

The NEI VFQ-25 total score ranges from 0-100 with a score of 0 being the worst outcome and 100 being the best outcome. The NEI VFQ questionnaire is organized as a collection of subscales which are all scored from 0-100. To reach the overall composite score, each sub-scale score is averaged in order to give each sub-scale equal weight
