Summary
The primary objective of the study was to investigate current criteria driving re-treatment in patients affected by Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) secondary to Pathologic Myopia (PM) and experiencing a relapse of the disease after the first administration of ranibizumab.
Eligibility Criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA
- Written informed consent given before any study related procedure is performed
- Diagnosis of active CNV secondary to PM confirmed by complete ocular examination in the affected eye(s) using the following criteria:
- Presence of high myopia greater than -6D of spherical equivalence
- Presence of posterior changes compatible with pathologic myopia (any signs of attenuation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroids, mottling of the RPE, tilted disc, geographic atrophy of RPE, Fuchs spots, posterior staphyloma, submacular hemorrhage, lacquer cracks) detected by fundus ophthalmoscopy and fundus photography
- Presence of active leakage from CNV observed through fluorescein angiography (FAG)
- Presence of intra or subretinal fluid demonstrated by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- BCVA > 24 letters and 150 mmHg or diastolic > 90 mmHg at the time of enrollment
- History of stroke
- Any type of advanced, severe or unstable medical condition or its treatment that could significantly bias the assessment of clinical status and interfere with primary and/or secondary outcome evaluations or put the patient at risk
- Presence of active infectious disease or intra-ocular inflammation in either eye at the time of enrollment
- Ocular disorders in the study eye that may confound interpretation of study results, compromise visual acuity or require medical or surgical intervention during the 12-month study period (including retinal detachment, cataract and pre-retinal membrane of the macula)
- History of pan-retinal or focal/grid laser photocoagulation with involvement of the macular area in the study eye at any time
- History of intraocular treatment with any anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), verteporfin photodynamic therapy (vPDT) and any intra-ocular surgery or corticosteroid administration within one month before study entrance
- Known hypersensitivity to ranibizumab or any component of the ranibizumab formulation
- Simultaneous participation in a study that includes administration of any investigational drug
