Safety and Efficacy of Bevacizumab in High-Risk Corneal Transplant Survival
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Avastin® (bevacizumab) and 0.9% NaCl & Refresh Liquigel for Corneal Neovascularization and Corneal Graft Failure. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The leading risk factor for corneal transplant rejection is abnormal blood vessel growth of the host bed. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to be a mediator of this corneal neovascularization (NV), therefore we would like to test the safety and efficacy of local VEGF blockade in the promotion of graft survival in high risk corneal transplants.
