Safety and Clinical Effectiveness of Intravitreal Bevacizumab (Lumiere®) in Patients With Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD)

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Clinical Trial

Official title: Clinical Study for Evaluating the Safety and Clinical Effectiveness of Intravitreal Bevacizumab (Lumiere®) in Patients With Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of intravitreal bevacizumab (Lumiere®) in the single-dose form, for the treatment of patients with wet AMD.

Clinical Trial Description

Age-related macular degeneration is the main cause of severe vision loss in patients over 65 years of age. There is solid evidence of the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in the treatment of wet AMD. However, it has not been registered for such indication yet.

In response to the need for a proper adaptation, Lumiere® has been developed in a single-dose, sterile dosage containing bevacizumab 5 mg/vial in 0.2 mL injectable solution.

This adaptation is intended to assure intravitreal administration avoiding the risk of contamination and potential adverse consequences, such as endophthalmitis and blindness, associated to reutilization or repackaging of bevacizumab vials for oncological use. ;
