简要总结
Phase 1, non-randomized, open label, noncomparative trial to study the effect of intravitreal injection of aflibercept on eyes with symptomatic macular edema from retinal artery macroaneurysms.
详细描述
Baseline evaluation will consist of measurement of best-corrected ETDRS visual acuity, complete eye exam, including IOP measurement, color photos and intravenous fluorescein angiography, spectral domain OCT and vitals. Patients meeting eligibility criteria will be treated with an intravitreal injection of 2.0 mg aflibercept under usual aseptic precautions. Follow up visits will be on Day 7, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180. At each follow-up visit, best-corrected ETDRS visual acuity, IOP measurement and central foveal thickness (CFT) by SDOCT will be obtained. Color photos and IVFA will be performed at month 3 and 6 visits.
Retreatment shall be performed no sooner than two months after previous injection for one or more the following criteria 1. CFT >310 microns 2. Intraretinal or subretinal fluid on SDOCT 3. Increase in CFT by 50 or more microns from the lowest value observed after intravitreal aflibercept injection 4. Decrease in vision by 5 or more letters frpm the previous visit associated with OCT evidence of macular edema. 5. Appearance of new hemorrhage on color photographs.
Final follow-up will be at six months. Data collected will include, change in ETDRS visual acuity from the baseline, change in CFT, number of injections, number of eyes completely dry by SDOCT, and number of eyes with a thrombosed RAM by IVFA.
