Intravitreal Inj of Ranibizumab for Macular Telangiectasia w/o Neovascularization

玻璃体内注射雷比珠单抗治疗无新生血管的黄斑毛细血管扩张症的初步研究(Mactel 2) 临床方案支持合同，旨在获得开发、设计、解释和评估临床试验、流行病学和自然病史研究的外部支持。此外，它还将提供涉及眼部疾病和视力障碍的结果研究以及一些临床前研究。重点应放在研究的设计和这些研究产生的数据的收集、分析和解释上，以及支持和监测患者的安全性和随访。承包商还应按照工作说明书中的说明，为特定的临床研究数据库、成本效益和经济分析、生活质量评估和结果研究提供分析和数据管理支持。这将包括但不限于以下领域：医疗保险和其他医疗保健数据库的分析；对现有NEI数据库的评估，如集中的NEI内部研究数据库、眼病病例对照研究、早期治疗糖尿病视网膜病变研究、Framingham Eye研究以及内部艾滋病和葡萄膜炎数据库。 《临床方案》的目标： 这项研究将检验药物雷尼比珠单抗(Lucentis)是否有助于预防黄斑毛细血管扩张症患者的视力丧失，黄斑毛细血管扩张症是一种新血管在眼后视网膜生长并可能渗漏的情况。血管的这种变化在其他疾病中也可以看到，这些疾病与一种名为血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的身体化学物质的变化有关。雷尼比珠单抗是一种抗血管内皮生长因子的药物，对另一种眼病-老年性黄斑变性有效，眼睛血管也有类似的变化。

Pilot Study of Intravitreal Injection of Ranibizumab for Macular Telangiectasia without Neovascularization (MACTEL 2) Clinical Protocol support contract designed to attain extramural support for developing, designing, interpreting, and evaluating clinical trials, epidemiologic and natural history studies. In addition, it will provide for outcomes research involving eye diseases and visual disorders and some preclinical studies. The focus shall be on the design of studies and the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data emanating from these studies, as well as support, and monitoring patient safety and follow-up. Contractor shall also provide analytical and data management support, as described in the work statement, for specified clinical research data bases, cost-effectiveness and economic analyses, quality of life assessment and outcomes research. This will include, but not be limited to, the following areas: analysis of Medicare and other health care databases; evaluation of existing NEI databases such as, centralized NEI Intramural Research database, the Eye Disease Case Control Study, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study, Framingham Eye Study, and intramural AIDS and uveitis databases. Objective of Clinical Protocol: This study will examine whether the drug ranibizumab (Lucentis) can help prevent vision loss in people with macular telangiectasia, a condition in which new blood vessels grow in the retina at the back of the eye and can leak. Such changes in blood vessels are seen in other diseases associated with changes in a body chemical called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Ranibizumab is an anti-VEGF drug that is effective in treating another eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, with similar changes in eye blood vessels.
