Registration Number
NCT05844982
Lead Sponsor
Jaeb Center for Health Research
Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of intravitreal faricimab or fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) intravitreal implant compared with observation on long-term visual acuity following treatment of choroidal melanoma with iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy.

Detailed Description

The primary objectives are to compare long-term visual acuity outcomes in eyes that receive repeated treatment with faricimab or fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implants with those observed initially and treated only if macular edema (ME) develops. The secondary objectives are to determine if repeated treatment with faricimab or fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implants versus observation can prevent or alter the course of ME from radiation retinopathy and to evaluate the natural history of radiation retinopathy with multimodal imaging including widefield color photographs, widefield fluorescein angiography and OCTA.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Loss of 15 or more letters of visual acuity from baselinefrom baseline at 3 years

Visual acuity is measured as a continuous integer letter score from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating better visual acuity. A letter score of 85 is approximately 20/20 and a letter score of 70 is approximately 20/40, the legal unrestricted driving limit in most states. A 5-letter change for an individual is approximately equal to a 1-line change on a vision chart.
