A Pilot Study to Assess the Safety of Proton Therapy for Subfoveal Neovascularization Associated With Age-Related Macular Degeneration
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Proton radiation for Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a pilot study to determine if proton radiation therapy can provide effective and safe treatment for subfoveal neovascularization membrane (SNVM). The study will include adult patients over the age of 50 with macular degeneration, who have subfoveal neovascularization membrane (SNVM) and have had prior treatment with Avastin or Lucentis. Additional purposes of this study are to see if the growth of neovascular membranes can be stopped and overall vision improved with the use of protons and assess the side effects associated with this treatment.
