NVAMD Satellite Study

Neovascular Age Related Macular Degeneration

Intravitreal delivery of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs has revolutionized the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD). However, the requirement for near monthly administration of therapy coupled with the growing number of patients needing treatment has become a universal challenge in efficient delivery of care for retina physicians. While many retina practices have both increased the size of their staffs to accommodate the growing patient population and increased efficiency with the aid of digital photography, patient encounter times in clinic continue to increase, often spanning 2-4 hours. While maintaining the highest level of patient care, a streamlined alternative in the evaluation of patients with NVAMD to determine whether intravitreal therapy with an anti-VEGF agent is indicated at a particular office visit would be desirable. This multi-satellite, prospective, randomized pilot study will compare standard-of-care, physician- based retinal evaluation, defined as retinal examination by a physician and standard imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optional fluorescein angiography (FA), versus physician-guided diagnostic evaluation, defined as standard imaging with OCT and optional FA without retinal examination by a physician in the management of NVAMD with anti-VEGF therapy. Outcomes for this study are aimed primarily at demonstrating that the physician-guided diagnostic approach to managing patients with NVAMD is not inferior to the physician-based retinal evaluation based on measures such as a change from baseline in visual acuity and in central subfield thickness (CSF) on OCT. Other outcomes to be assessed in this study are length of visit times, numbers of intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents administered, numbers of diagnostic tests performed to determine whether treatment should be given at each visit, and frequency of retinal examinations performed for each participating patient in each cohort. Perceptions of quality of vision and patient satisfaction will be captured by interviews with patients following each clinic visit; clinical impressions of physicians will be captured by a brief physician survey. Finally, the feasibility of recruiting patients, as measured by how many eligible patients are seen at each Wilmer satellite, how many patients agree to be randomized, how many patients follow-up, and the attrition rates at the 4 and 8-month outcome visits will be assessed.

Macular Degeneration

There is a need to investigate the effectiveness of IVT aflibercept injection in routine clinical practice. The aim of this study is to collect 12-month real-world clinical data from treatment-naïve nAMD patients who started first-line treatment with IVT aflibercept injection, according to the SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics) and the SERV (Spanish Society of Retina and Vitreous) guidelines. The effectiveness of IVT aflibercept will be assessed by the changes in VA (Visual Acuity) and CRT (Central Retinal Thickness) during treatment.

The Effects of Bevacizumab and Ranibizumab on Ocular Pulse Amplitude in Neovascular Age Related...

Neovascular Age Related Macular Degeneration

One concern about repeated intravitreal injections of bevacizumab (Avastin) and ranibizumab (Lucentis) in wet age related macular degeneration, is that in addition to blocking the proteins that triggers the development and proliferation of abnormal vessels in the center of the retina, they may also result in changes in the normal vessels that feeds the outer part of the retina. Small vessels with fenestrations (such as those that feed the outer part of the retina, which are called choriocapillaris) appear to be especially sensitive to this protein (called vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF) withdrawal. It is estimated that global blood flow in the vascular layer under the retina (called choroid) may be indirectly assessed by measuring the amplitude of the ocular pulsation (the pressure inside the eye change according to the cardiac cycle, similar to the change in blood pressure) which is called Ocular Pulse Amplitude (OPA). The Pascal Dynamic Contour Tonometer (Pascal DCT) is a new tonometer (a device which measures the pressure within the eye) designed to measure intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude. No published study has yet assessed the effect of bevacizumab (Avastin) or ranibizumab (Lucentis) treatment for wet AMD (or on any other retinal disease) on OPA. This is our aim in this pilot study, in which we will measure the pressure within the eye just prior to bevacizumab/Ranibizumab treatment, followed by repeated measurements a week and a month after the treatment. For this purpose, up to 60 patients with wet AMD will be recruited.
