简要总结
Proliferative ischemic retinopathies lead to a formation of abnormal vessels on the iris surface induced by an increased level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In progressive stages fibrovascular membranes occlude the anterior chamber angle which inhibits aqueous outflow resulting in neovascular glaucoma. The increased intraocular pressure is often difficult to control and frequently results in loss of vision.
The aim of this study is to analyze the short- and long-term outcome after adjuvant intraocular Ranibizumab application in patients with neovascular glaucoma and rubeosis and to analyze the role of ranibizumab within a holistic treatment regime.

入选标准
- •neo-vascular glaucoma or rubeosis
- •definition of neo-vascular glaucoma: patient with iris neovascularization with intraocular pressure elevation (exceeding 21 mmHg)
- •definition of rubeosis: patient with iris neovascularization without intraocular pressure elevation (≤21 mmHg)
- •an available follow-up of 12 months
- •written informed consent
- •visual acuity of light perception or better.
排除标准
- •history or evidence of severe cardiac disease (e.g., NYHA functional class III or IV)
- •clinical or medical history of unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction or revascularization with 6 months
- •ventricular tachyarrhythmias requiring ongoing treatment
- •History or evidence clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, such as intermittent claudication or prior amputation
- •Clinically significant impaired renal or hepatic function
- •Stroke within 12 month before trial entry.
- •Known serious allergies to the fluorescein dye use in angiography
- •Known contraindications to the components of Lucentis® formulation.
- •Ocular concomitant conditions/ diseases
- •Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) in either eye
- •Any active infection (e.g. conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, uveitis, endophthalmitis) in either eye
- •History of uveitis in either eye
- •Treatment with anti-angiogenic drugs (pegaptanib sodium, anecortave acetate,bevacizumab, ranibizumab, etc.) or intravitreal corticosteroids in either eye within 4 months prior to inclusion
- •Angle block glaucoma
- •Intraocular Pressure <10mmHg
- •Compliance/ Administrative
- •Previous participation in any clinical studies of investigational drugs (excluding vitamins and minerals) within 1 month (or a period corresponding to 5 half-lives of the investigational drug, whatever is longer) prior to inclusion

The two methods can be a double barrier method or a barrier method plus a hormonal method. Adequate barrier methods of contraception include: diaphragm, condom (by the partner), intrauterine device (copper or hormonal), sponge or spermicide. Hormonal contraceptives include any marketed contraceptive agent that includes an estrogen and/or a progestational agent.
- •Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
- •Inability to comply with study or follow-up procedures.
- •Any treatment with an investigational agent in the past 60 days for any condition.
