March 16, 2011 updated by: Retina Associates of Cleveland, Inc

Impact of Lucentis on Psychological Morbidity in Patients With Macular Edema and Neovascularization Secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion

This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized clinical study on the impact of intravitreally administered ranibizumab (Lucentis) treatment on vision-related functioning and emotional well-being in subjects with central or branch retinal vein occlusion.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study assessments for the full duration of the study
  • Evidence of central retinal vein occlusion, defined as documented retinal hemorrhage into all four quadrants with dilated veins, or branch retinal vein occlusion, as documented on clinical exam
  • Age 18 years or over
  • Central macular edema on clinical exam as well as imaging with a central thickness of ≥ 250 microns
  • Visual acuity ranging from 20/8000 to 20/40
  • Media clarity and patient cooperation sufficient to allow adequate testing utilizing OCT and FA
  • No previous treatment that might compromise or confound assessment of the study outcomes
  • Ability to speak and read English

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Acute illness or cognitive or other impairment that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with study requirements
  • Concurrent ocular conditions likely to significantly compromise vision and contribute the macular compromise
  • History of grid/focal laser in the study eye
  • History of vitreal surgery
  • Previous treatment with triamcinolone acetonide in either eye
  • Previous use of bevacizumab, pegaptanib, or ranibizumab in either eye
  • Evidence of significant uncontrolled concomitant diseases such as cardiovascular disease, nervous system, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine, or gastrointestinal disorders
  • History of cerebrovascular accident within 1 year prior to Day 0
  • Inability to comply with study or follow-up procedures
  • Any cognitive defect as a result of mental disease, previous injury, or disease process that may interfere with interpretation of study results
  • Visual acuity better than 20/40
  • Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) or lactation
  • Inadequate contraception in premenopausal women
