  Purpose

CNV from AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over 50 in North America. The hypothesis is to determine if there is an improvement in retinal function determined by ERG following treatment with ranibizumab for AMD


Condition Intervention Phase
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
 Drug: Lucentis (ranibizumab)
 Phase 1

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: CAPTAIN: Choroidal Neovascularization Assessment by Pattern Electroretinography After Ranibizumab in Naive Age-Related Macular Degeneration Patients

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine if there is an improvement in retinal function determined by the ERG following treatment with ranibizumab [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine if there is an improvement in visual acuity and retinal function as determined by ERG [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Correlation between change in PERG and mean change in VA at 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean change in VA from baseline to 0 months and 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Ages Eligible for Study:   50 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study assessments for the full duration of the study
  • Age ≥ 50 years
  • Treatment naive AMD patients that are determined to be candidates for ranibizumab
  • Visual acuity 20/40 to 20/320

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy
  • Prior enrollment in the study
  • Previous therapy for AMD or other retinal diseases which may be used in the treatment of AMD
  • Any other condition that the investigator believes would pose a significant hazard to the subject if on-label ranibizumab were prescribed
  • Any condition that would interfere with the ERG recording (such as media opacities including lens or corneal opacity)
  • Concurrent eye disease in the study eye that could compromise visual acuity (such as diabetic retinopathy, advanced glaucoma)
  • Any condition causing the patient to have a significant tremor that would interfere with the patient's ability to remain still during the ERG (such as Parkinson's disease)
  • Participation in another simultaneous medical investigation or trial
