About

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of antiangiogenic therapy to choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks.

Full description

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of antiangiogenic therapy to choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks.

This study is planned as a follow-up. Patients with angioid streaks included in it will receive antiangiogenic therapy in accordance with the approved indications for use indicated in the instructions for the use of drugs in Ukraine.

The treatment proposed in this study is based on the world experience and scientific developments of the Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy of the NAMS of Ukraine ". Therefore, it is expected that the benefit / risk ratio in relation to the participation in this study should not be different from that described in the scientific literature and the benefits outweigh the risk. It is known that the absence of treatment in these diseases leads to an irreparable loss of central vision.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 90 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

  10. Any previous panretinal photocoagulation or subfoveal thermal laser therapy in the study eye.

  11. Any prior treatment with photodynamic therapy in the study eye. 15. Cataract surgery within 3 months prior to Day 1 in the study eye. 16. Yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser capsulotomy within 2 months prior to Day 1 in the study eye.
