Comparison of Treatment Response to Intravitreal Injection of Combined Propranolol and Bevacizumab Versus Bevacizumab Monotherapy in Patients With Wet Age Related Macular Degeneration :A Clinical Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is designed to compare the effect of combined intravitreal Bevacizumab and Propranolol injection versus Bevacizumab monotherapy in patients with Age Related Macular Degeneration.
Methods:
In this study patients with Age Related Macular Degeneration who are naïve or had history of previous treatment are included. The eligible patients in randomized in two groups "Bevacizumab" and "Bavacizumab + propranolol" and in injected intravitreally for 3 times monthly. In "Bevacizumab+propranolol" group patients receive two injections at each session Bavacizumab and propranolol. In "Bevacizumab" group patients receive only Bevacizumab. The patients are followed for 6 months and central macular thickness and visual acuity is measured at baseline and monthly for 6 month. Baseline ancillary exams include Fluorescein Angiography and OCT-Angiography which is performed at the final exam as well. Patients needing any therapeutic intervention is addressed during the 6 month follow up period.
