Aflibercept for Macular Oedema With Underlying Retinitis Pigmentosa

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of intravitreal injections of Aflibercept (Eylea) in treating Cystoid Macula Oedema (CMO) in patients with underlying Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP).

Clinical Trial Description

This is a 17 month phase II therapeutic exploratory trial in Cystoid Macular Oedema (CMO) with underlying Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). The study design is a prospective, open-label, interventional non-randomised trial. All patients enrolled in the study will receive intravitreal injections of Aflibercept (Eylea). There will be a 9 month recruitment window and patient participation will be for 12 months; 30 patients aged 16 years or older presenting in the Medical Retina and Genetics clinics at Moorfields Eye Hospital with Cystoid Macula Oedema (CMO) with underlying Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) will be approached by the study team to discuss participation in the AMOUR study and be given a patient information leaflet. If patients decide to participate in the study they will be invited to the NIHR Moorfields Clinical Research Facility for a baseline screening where written informed consent will be given by the patient and various assessments will be performed to confirm eligibility. Patients enrolled in the study will receive intravitreal injections of 2mg of 40mg/ml of Aflibercept (Eylea) solution in the study eye. In the first three months, patients will receive a loading dose of Aflibercept (Eylea) with one injection every four weeks. After the first three months, treatment frequency will follow a treat and extend protocol for up to 12 months from date of study enrolment. Extension from 4 weekly to 6,8,10 and 12 week follow up will occur when there is no further reduction in macula fluid compared to the previous visit. Patients will receive a minimum of 5 injections before being deemed as non-responders to treatment. Imaging and assessments such as optical coherence tomography imaging, microperimetry and visual acuity will be used to assess response to treatment. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
