How does the Velodrome clinical trial work?
This clinical trial is recruiting people who have a type of eye disease called wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and is testing an investigational (not approved) eye implant known as the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS). The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare how effective and safe the PDS is when refilled either every 6 months or every 9 months.
How do I take part in this clinical trial?
To be able to participate in this clinical trial, you must:
Aged 50 or over
Have been diagnosed with wet AMD
Have previously been treated with at least three anti-VEGF injections for wet AMD in the past six months or are prepared to have these treatments before joining the study
Have shown response to anti-VEGF treatment before joining the study
If you think this clinical trial may be suitable for you and would like to take part, please talk to your doctor. If your doctor thinks that you might be able to take part in this clinical trial, he/she may refer you to the closest clinical trial doctor. They will give you all the information you need to make your decision about taking part in the clinical trial. You can also find the clinical trial locations on this page.
You will have some further tests to make sure you will be able to take the treatments given in this clinical trial. Some of these tests or procedures may be part of your regular medical care. They may be done even if you do not take part in the clinical trial. If you have had some of the tests recently, they may not need to be done again.
Before starting the clinical trial, you will be told about any risks and benefits of taking part in the trial. You will also be told what other treatments are available so that you may decide if you still want to take part.
While taking part in the clinical trial, women (if you are not currently pregnant but can become pregnant) will need to either not have heterosexual intercourse or take contraceptive medication for safety reasons.
What treatment will I be given if I join this clinical trial?
Everyone who joins this clinical trial will have the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) surgically inserted in one eye and be randomly assigned (you will be assigned by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of two groups (treatment arms) at the 6-month visit:
- Arm A: PDS refilled every 9 months (Arm A) for up to 18 months
- Arm B: PDS refilled every 6 months (Arm B) for up to 18 months
You will have a 50% chance of being placed in either group.
How often will I be seen in follow-up appointments, and for how long?
You will be given the clinical trial PDS refills for about 18 months. You are free to stop this treatment at any time. Unless you leave the study early for any reasons, you will have at least 23 clinic visits, which include a screening visit. The purpose of these visits is so that we can monitor your eye and general health and see how you are responding to your treatment. You will generally have study visits every month and you will occasionally receive follow-up calls to check on how you are doing. If you experience any side effects or injury during the study, your study doctor will explain your options and discuss with you a plan for further treatment.
What happens if I am unable to take part in this clinical trial?
If this clinical trial is not suitable for you, you will not be able to take part. Your doctor will suggest other clinical trials that you may be able to take part in or other treatments that you can be given. You will not lose access to any of your regular care.
