Trial Outcomes & Findings for Short-term Efficacy of Intravitreal Afilibercept Depending on Subtypes of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy: Polypoidal Choroidal Neovascularization or Idiopathic Choroidal Vasculopathy (NCT NCT02597855)

NCT ID: NCT02597855

Last Updated: 2016-08-18

Results Overview

Indocyanine green angiography performed initially and at 3 months were used to determine the polyp regression. The definition of complete polyp regression is that the polyps at initial visit disappeared at 3 months on indocyanine green angiography. The partial regression means the polyps remain, but the size decreased \>30%.

Measure
Type 1 Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy
Monthly intravitreal aflibercept injection for 3 months and 1 additional injection after 2 months. Indocyanine green angiography was used to classify the type of PCV and evaluate the polyp closure rate. Aflibercept: Total 4 times of intravitreal aflibercept injection was performed Indocyanine green angiography (intraveonus indocyanine green dye): At initial visit, indocyanine green angiography was performed. After 1 month of third Aflibercept injection, indocyanine green angiography was performed to evaluate polyp closure.
Type 2 Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy
Monthly intravitreal aflibercept injection for 3 months and 1 additional injection after 2 months. Indocyanine green angiography was used to classify the type of PCV and evaluate the polyp closure rate. Aflibercept: Total 4 times of intravitreal aflibercept injection was performed Indocyanine green angiography (intraveonus indocyanine green dye): At initial visit, indocyanine green angiography was performed. After 1 month of third Aflibercept injection, indocyanine green angiography was performed to evaluate polyp closure.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: Participants who were finished 6 months follow up period.

Indocyanine green angiography performed initially and at 3 months were used to determine the polyp regression. The definition of complete polyp regression is that the polyps at initial visit disappeared at 3 months on indocyanine green angiography. The partial regression means the polyps remain, but the size decreased \>30%.
