Open Label Macugen for the Treatment of Macular Edema Secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating pegaptanib sodium (Macugen) for Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravitreal injections of Macugen every 6 weeks for the treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). We hypothesize that macular edema secondary to BRVO is mediated by VEGF 165 and that chronic suppression of VEGF 165 will successfully treat BRVO related macular edema.
