Management of Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration Undergoing Cataract Surgery

Study Description
Brief Summary:
To-date there have been only very few studies to examine the effect of cataract surgery to patients with wet age-related macular degeneration. The evidence on the effects of cataract surgery in such patients suggests improvement of their visual function and quality of life, but at the same time a subclinical susceptibility to macular edema and exacerbation of the choroidal neovascularization. Therefore it is highly important to identify the optimum treatment regime, pursuing the best anatomical and functional postoperative results.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Wet Macular Degeneration Cataract Extraction Drug: Ranibizumab Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
To-date there have been only very few studies to examine the effect of cataract surgery to patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), especially in the era of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy. Furthermore the issue of optimum treatment regimen that should be used in the peroperative period has never been addressed. Since the human life expectancy gradually increases, the number of patients who are under anti-VEGF intravitreal injections for wet AMD will be increasing accordingly. Cataract surgery in such patients, despite guarded prognosis has been proved to improve their visual function and quality of life. On the other hand, it has been shown that cataract surgery induces anatomic changes based on optical coherence tomography analysis, suggesting a subclinical susceptibility to postoperative cystoid macular edema or exacerbation of choroidal neovascularization. Therefore it is highly important to identify the optimum treatment regime, pursuing the best anatomical and functional postoperative results.
Study Design

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 16 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Management of Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration Undergoing Cataract Surgery: A Pilot Study
Actual Study Start Date : January 1, 2018
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 2020
Estimated Study Completion Date : January 2020
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Intensive Treatment
The participants will receive x1 intraoperative and 3 postop monthly injections. Subsequently, they will follow the treat and extend protocol.
Drug: Ranibizumab
Intravitreal Ranibizumab is approved for the treatment of wet AMD. In this study we will compare an intensive injection protocol versus the standard treat and extend protocol in wet AMD patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Other Name: Lucentis

Active Comparator: Standard Treatment
The participants will continue their preoperative treat and extend protocol .
Drug: Ranibizumab
Intravitreal Ranibizumab is approved for the treatment of wet AMD. In this study we will compare an intensive injection protocol versus the standard treat and extend protocol in wet AMD patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Other Name: Lucentis

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Visual acuity change from baseline [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Difference in visual acuity change from baseline at the end of the follow-up period.

  2. Difference in the number of injections [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Difference in the number of injections at the end of the follow-up period.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Status of the macular degeneration based on optical coherence tomography parameter, as compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    The status of the age-related macular degeneration will be evaluated based on optical coherence tomography parameters at the at final follow-up and compared to the baseline. Our main focus is to identify any subfoveal scarring and/ or subfoveal atrophy that may develop during the follow-up and assess changes from the baseline state of the macula.
