Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designProspective randomised controlled trial and pilot study
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectivesAttempt to identify ophthalmic features and positive predictive value for ICG as 'diagnosis and management modifier'. The use of indocyanine gren angiography (ICG) may facilitate the identification of lesions that have been proposed to respond to laser treatment.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEye Diseases: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)
InterventionInterventions are fluorescein angiography compared with fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography.

Added 05/09/2008: trial was stopped due to new treataments available.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Moderate and severe visual loss defined as loss of three lines or 15 letters (doubling of visual angles) and loss of 6 lines or 30 letters respectively, on a log MAR visual acuity chart, at 4,8 and 12 months.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. ICG rates modification of fluorescein based diagnosis and management
2. Specificity and sensitivity of ophthalmic signs predictive of ICG findings

Completion date24/05/2006
Reason abandoned (if study stopped)New treatments available
