Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Switching From Aflibercept to Ranibizumab in Patients With nAMD (NCT NCT02161575)

NCT ID: NCT02161575

Last Updated: 2019-02-15

Results Overview

Measurement of the change in CSRT, determined by high definition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) after 3 monthly injections of ranibizumab. OCT is a non-invasive technique which can determine and measure thickness of the retina. A negative change from Baseline indicates an improvement (less retinal fluid and lower disease activity). Data collected on the study eye were used for the evaluation of efficacy.

Participant Flow

Patients were recruited from 22 sites located in the United Kingdom and 6 sites located in Germany. A total of 103 patients received at least 1 dose of study drug.

Of the 103 patients who received at least 1 dose of study drug, 3 patients did not have any post-baseline safety or CSRT assessments and were therefore excluded from the SAF and FAS, in accordance with the analysis set definitions. Therefore, 100 patients were included in the SAF and FAS.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 90

Population: FAS - Missing values at Day 90 were imputed using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) where possible. For the change from baseline, only patients with a value at both baseline and Day 90 were included.

Measurement of the change in CSRT, determined by high definition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) after 3 monthly injections of ranibizumab. OCT is a non-invasive technique which can determine and measure thickness of the retina. A negative change from Baseline indicates an improvement (less retinal fluid and lower disease activity).
