A Pilot Study to evaLuate the Role of High-dose rAnbizumab (2.0mg) in the Management of AMD in Patients With perSistent/recurrenT Macular Fluid Less Than 30 Days Following Treatment With Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Therapy (the LAST Study) - Full Text View

Purpose

This is a single-masked study to compare intravitreally administered 0.5 mg ranibizumab to 2.0 mg ranibizumab in subjects who manifest persistent or recurrent macular fluid less than 30 days following treatment with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy. Patients will be masked to their treatment assignment.

The study duration is anticipated to be 12 months and will enroll 30 subjects . Patients will be randomized 2:1 to either 2.0 mg ranibizumab or 0.5mg ranibizumab.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Mean change in VA from Baseline at Month 6 [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Mean change in VA from Baseline at Month 12 [ Time Frame: one year ]
- Mean change in VA from Baseline at Month 12
- Mean change in central foveal thickness (RPE to ILM) as measured by SD-OCT (Spectralis HRA + OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) at Months 6 and 12
- Mean change in leakage as determined by FA at Months 6 and 12
- Mean number of ranibizumab injections at Months 6 and 12
- Mean time to first re-treatment following the initial 3 monthly loading doses
- Mean duration of fluid-free interval
- Safety and tolerability of 2.0mg using the incidence and severity of adverse events
