Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Intravitreal Injections of 2.0mg Ranibizumab in Subjects With Chronic Fluid On OCT Post Multiple Injections With Ranibizumab (Super-dose Anti-VEgf SAVE Trial) (NCT NCT01025232)

NCT ID: NCT01025232

Last Updated: 2017-01-02

Results Overview

Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Best Corrected Visual Acuity (ETDRS BCVA) was used to quantify visual acuity. BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.

Measure
4 Week Re-treatment
Subjects can receive re-treatment every 4 weeks if there is persistent or recurrent intraretinal, subretinal, or sub-RPE fluid on any OCT modality, or any evidence of hemorrhage on clinical evaluation. Subjects will go no longer than 12 weeks without treatment. Ranibizumab: Intravitreal Injection of 2.0mg formulation
6 Week Re-treatment
Subjects can receive re-treatment every 6 weeks if there is persistent or recurrent intraretinal, subretinal, or sub-RPE fluid on any OCT modality, or any evidence of hemorrhage on clinical evaluation. Every 6 weeks regimen will test potential longer duration of action of 2.0 mg ranibizumab. Subjects will go no longer than 12 weeks without treatment.

Population: Given lack of clinical benefit of 2.0 mg ranibizumab, as demonstrated in the HARBOR trial \[Busbee BG, et al. (2013) Ophthalmology 120(5), 1046-1056\], further secondary analyses were suspended.
