Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study in Patients With Neovascular Age Related Macular Degeneration or Macular Edema Secondary To Retinal Vein Occlusion to Evaluate Usability of the Ranibizumab (Lucentis®) Prefilled Syringe (PFS) (NCT NCT02698566)

NCT ID: NCT02698566

Last Updated: 2017-09-21

Results Overview

Product use tasks included sequence of steps starting from opening the carton, removing contents from carton to disposing of used PFS and needle. Tasks were considered to be successfully completed if the correct results were achieved without a use error, even if the instructions for use (IFU) were not followed exactly (example: not removing the needle cap prior to adjusting a dose). Usage error was defined as user action or lack of user action while using the medical device that led to a different result than intended by the manufacturer or expected by the user. The ability of HCPs to follow the IFU to prepare and administer a ranibizumab PFS ITV injection dose to patients was evaluated by successful task completion.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1

Population: Three HCPs referred to as 'participants' performed tasks on 35 enrolled patients by giving single PFS ITV injection to each patient. The percentages are calculated out of the total 35 PFS ITV injections administered.

Product use tasks included sequence of steps starting from opening the carton, removing contents from carton to disposing of used PFS and needle. Tasks were considered to be successfully completed if the correct results were achieved without a use error, even if the instructions for use (IFU) were not followed exactly (example: not removing the needle cap prior to adjusting a dose). Usage error was defined as user action or lack of user action while using the medical device that led to a different result than intended by the manufacturer or expected by the user. The ability of HCPs to follow the IFU to prepare and administer a ranibizumab PFS ITV injection dose to patients was evaluated by successful task completion.

Usage error was defined as user action or lack of user action while using the medical device that led to a different result than intended by the manufacturer or expected by the user. Safety critical tasks where those in which use error could have a reasonably foreseeable potential for clinical impact or harm.

Usage error was defined as user action or lack of user action while using the medical device that led to a different result than intended by the manufacturer or expected by the user. Essential tasks were those that were required in order to complete the use process for effective use of the product.
