April 10, 2015 updated by: Hanscom, Thomas, M.D.

Phase I/II, Open-label, Study of Intravitreal RAnibizumab 0.5MG, or High Dose 1.0mg for Retinal Vein Occlusions With rEfractory Macular Edema Previously Receiving iNtravitreal Bevacizumab (RAVEN)

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study assessments for the full duration of the study
  • Age > 18 years
  • CRVO or BRVO diagnosis
  • For CRVO, clinical evidence of perfused central retinal vein occlusion. A CRVO is defined as an eye that has retinal hemorrhages and a dilated retinal venous system in all 4 quadrants. Other evidence of a CRVO may include telangiectatic capillary bed and collateral vessels at the optic nerve head.
  • Central macular edema present on clinical examination and OCT testing with a central point thickness and/or central 1mm subfield thickness > 300 microns after at least 3 months of bevacizumab or steroid therapy.
  • Visual acuity score greater than or equal to 19 letters (20/400) and less than or equal to 73 letters (20/40) by the ETDRS visual acuity protocol.
  • Patients must demonstrate that they are no longer improving on bevacizumab or intravitreal steroid therapy (i.e. no improvement in acuity in 2 consecutive visits)
  • BRVO patients treated with grid laser must show residual edema three months following latest laser treatment
  • Media clarity, pupillary dilation and patient cooperation sufficient to allow OCT testing and retinal photography

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) or known to be pregnant; also pre-menopausal women not using adequate contraception.
  • Participation in another ocular investigation or trial simultaneously
  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study (e.g. chronic alcoholism, drug abuse)
  • Significant diabetic retinopathy (greater than moderate NPDR) or macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy
  • An eye that, in the investigator's opinion, has no chance of improving in visual acuity following resolution of macular edema (e.g. presence of subretinal fibrosis or geographic atrophy or severe epiretinal membrane)
  • Presence of another ocular condition that may affect the visual acuity or macular edema during the course of the study (e.g. AMD, uveitis, Irvine-Gas)
  • Evidence of neovascularization of the iris or retina (presence of ischemic CRVO/BRVO)
  • Evidence of central atrophy or fibrosis in the study eye
  • Presence of substantial cataract, one that might decrease the vision by 3 or more lines of vision at sometime during the study.
  • History of grid/focal laser or panretinal laser in the study eye in the previous three months
  • History of vitreous surgery in the study eye
  • History of use of intravitreal, peribulbar, or retrobulbar steroids within three months of the study.
  • History of cataract surgery within 6 months of enrollment.
  • History of YAG capsulotomy within 2 months of the surgery.
  • Visual acuity <20/400 in the fellow eye
  • Uncontrolled glaucoma (pressure >30) despite treatment with glaucoma medications.
  • History of cerebral vascular accident or myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to Day 0.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
