Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bloodstream Absorption of Avastin and Lucentis After Injection Into the Eye (NCT NCT01661946)

NCT ID: NCT01661946

Last Updated: 2019-05-31

Results Overview

The serum concentrations of anti-VEGF antibody (bevacizumab or ranibizumab) will be measured pre-injection as well as at various time points after injection (1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month). These time points are selected based on previously completed animal studies. The Cmax will be compared between bevacizumab and ranibizumab.

Measure
Ranibizumab
intravitreal injection of 0.5mg ranibizumab in usual fashion Ranibizumab: Ranibizumab is a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor designed for ocular use
Bevacizumab
intravitreal injection of 1.25mg bevacizumab in usual fashion Bevacizumab: Bevacizumab is an off-label but cheaper treatment for diabetic macular edema.
