Study of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Intravitreal Injections of Ranibizumab Compared to Intravitreal Injections of Ranibizumab Combined With Targeted Retinal Photocoagulation to Treat Radiation Retinopathy.
- Conditions
- Radiation Retinopathy
- Interventions
- Procedure: Targeted Retinal Photocoagulation (TRP)
- Registration Number
- NCT02222610
- Lead Sponsor
- Greater Houston Retina Research
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability and efficacy of ranibizumab treatment administered in subjects with radiation retinopathy
- Detailed Description
RRR is a phase II, randomized, multicenter, clinical study to assess the tolerability and efficacy of ranibizumab treatment administered in subjects with radiation retinopathy. Subjects will be randomized into one of 3 arms; intravitreal (IVT) monthly vs. ranibizumab treatment administered IVT monthly combined with peripheral targeted photocoagulation vs. ranibizumab treatment administered IVT for three months followed by as needed treatment of ranibizumab combined with peripheral targeted photocoagulation over 48 weeks. From week 52 to week 101, all 3 treatment arms will employ a treat and extend protocol for IVT ranibizumab treatment.

Group Intervention Description Cohort A 0.5 mg ranibizumab Subject's will receive monthly treatment of an intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg ranibizumab for 48 weeks. Starting at week 52, subject's will enter a treat \& extend regime, if a subject achieves a "dry" macula. For a macula to be considered "dry" persistent or recurrent fluid must be resolved on spectral domain (SD)-optical coherence tomography (OCT). The interval between injections will not exceed 12 weeks. After a subject is extended beyond 4-weeks \& develops recurrent disease activity, the eye is treated \& the treatment interval for the next visit is reduced by 1 week, compared to the previous treatment interval. The interval between treatments will be reduced by 1-week intervals until a dry macula is again established. Once a dry macula is again achieved, the interval between visits will be extended by 1-week intervals again. Cohort B 0.5 mg ranibizumab Subject's receive monthly treatment of IVT of 0.5 mg ranibizumab for 48 weeks. 1 week after the initial dose of IVT ranibizumab, the subject will have peripheral targeted-retinal photocoagulation (TRP) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia based on 120° or greater wide field angiography. After the first session of TRP, subjects will have a repeat wide field angiogram at 12 weeks \& 24 weeks \& will receive additional TRP as needed (PRN) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia. Starting at week 52, subject's will enter a treat \& extend regime as described in cohort A. Cohort C 0.5 mg ranibizumab Subject's will receive 3 consecutive monthly doses of IVT 0.5 mg ranibizumab followed by PRN treatment with 0.5 mg ranibizumab intravitreal injection. 1 week after the initial dose of IVT ranibizumab, the subject will have peripheral targeted-retinal photocoagulation (TRP) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia. After the first session of TRP, subjects will have a repeat wide field angiogram at 12 weeks \& 24 weeks \& will receive additional TRP as needed (PRN) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia. Starting at week 52, subject's will enter a treat \& extend regime as described in cohort A. Cohort C Targeted Retinal Photocoagulation (TRP) Subject's will receive 3 consecutive monthly doses of IVT 0.5 mg ranibizumab followed by PRN treatment with 0.5 mg ranibizumab intravitreal injection. 1 week after the initial dose of IVT ranibizumab, the subject will have peripheral targeted-retinal photocoagulation (TRP) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia. After the first session of TRP, subjects will have a repeat wide field angiogram at 12 weeks \& 24 weeks \& will receive additional TRP as needed (PRN) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia. Starting at week 52, subject's will enter a treat \& extend regime as described in cohort A. Cohort B Targeted Retinal Photocoagulation (TRP) Subject's receive monthly treatment of IVT of 0.5 mg ranibizumab for 48 weeks. 1 week after the initial dose of IVT ranibizumab, the subject will have peripheral targeted-retinal photocoagulation (TRP) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia based on 120° or greater wide field angiography. After the first session of TRP, subjects will have a repeat wide field angiogram at 12 weeks \& 24 weeks \& will receive additional TRP as needed (PRN) to areas of peripheral retinal ischemia. Starting at week 52, subject's will enter a treat \& extend regime as described in cohort A.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean Change in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Visual Acuity at 104 Weeks From Day 0. 104 weeks Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) utilizes the ETDRS visual acuity chart to measure vision in clinical trials. Standard unit of measure is the number of letters subjects are able to read on the chart.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Subjects With Retinal Hemorrhage at 104 Weeks. 104 weeks Mean Change in Central Mean Thickness According to Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography at Week 104 Compared to Baseline. 104 weeks Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a common imaging modality used to visualize the layers of the macula. Central mean thickness (CMT) is the length in microns from the internal limiting membrane to Bruch's membrane.
