NCT00406471

Brief Summary

The RAVE (Rubeosis Anit-VEgf) trial, utilizes monthly intravitreal Ranibizumab (Lucentis) injections for 9 months to see if total VEGF blockade will prevent neovascular glaucoma and eliminate the need for panretinal photocoagulation in patients with ischemic central retinal vein occlusion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Preservation of 5Ve isopter Goldmann visual field versus baseline at 1 year

    12 and 24 months

  • Estimate the % of subjects progressing to neovascular glaucoma requiring pan-retinal photocoagulation or glaucoma surgery after treatment with ranibizumab (comparing 0.3mg to 0.5mg doses)

    12 and 24 mponths

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Assess the systemic and local safety of 0.3mg and 0.5mg of ranibizumab in patients with ischemic CRVO

    12 and 24 months

  • Assess improvement from baseline in Visual Acuity at 1 year

    12 and 24 months

  • Assess the impact on retinal thickness and volume (as measured by OCT)

    12 and 24 months

  • Assess the impact of ranibizumab (0.3mg and 0.5mg) on time to improvement in visual acuity

    12 and 24 months

  • Asses the impact of ranibizumab (0.3mg and 0.5mg) on time to improvement in retinal thickness

    12 and 24 months

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age19 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study assessments for the full duration of the study
  • Age \> 18 years
  • Three of the following clinical tests must be present to demonstrate ischemic CRVO:
  • VA 20/200 or worse
  • RAPD 0.9 LU or worse
  • Loss of 1-2e isopter on Goldmann Visual field (Kwon et al. 2001)
  • ERG demonstrating b wave amplitude less than 60% of A wave

You may not qualify if:

  • Angle neovascularization greater than 3 clock hours with IOP over 30 (Neovascular glaucoma)
  • Any previous retinal laser photocoagulation to the study eye
  • Any previous intravitreal injection in study eye (triamcinolone or other)
  • Any previous vitrectomy in study eye (posterior or anterior associated with vitreous loss in cataract surgery)
  • Intracapsular cataract extraction (posterior capsule needs to be present)
  • Previous history of retinal detachment in study eye
  • Any previous radiation treatments to head/ neck
  • Inability to assess iris neovascularization (corneal opacity precluding gonioscopy)
  • Significant cardiovascular disease or cancer that would prevent follow-up visits or completion of the 12 month study
  • Significant diabetic retinopathy in the fellow eye (diabetic macular edema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, or high-risk non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy)
  • Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test)
  • Prior enrollment in any study for vein occlusion in the study eye
  • Participation in another simultaneous medical investigator or trial
  • Ocular disorders in the study eye that may confound interpretation of study results, including retinal detachment, macular hole, or choroidal neovascularization of any cause (e.g., DME AMD, ocular histoplasmosis, or pathologic myopia)
  • Concurrent disease in the study eye that could compromise visual acuity or require medical or surgical intervention during the study period
  • +20 more criteria
