E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1. To evaluate the influence of the following genetic polymorphisms on a saliva sampling: VEGFA, CFH, CTFG, ARMS2, HTRA1, OR52B4, LOC387715, LOC100287225, LEPR, SERPINF1 in the response to treatment of the two drugs. |
1. Evaluar la influencia de los siguientes polimorfismos genéticos en una muestra de saliva: VEGFA, CFH, CTFG, ARMS2, HTRA1, OR52B4, LOC387715, LOC100287225, LEPR, SERPINF1 en la respuesta al tratamiento de los dos fármacos. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
2. To evaluate the influence of the sex, age, smoking, obesity, hypertension and VA at the time of diagnosis of AMD in the response to treatment of the two drugs 3. To evaluate the safety profile of ranibizumab and bevacizumab intravitreal injections, cardiovascular events included, after 3 injections and three years of follow-up. 4. To evaluate the economic impact (SNS perspective) of the use of ranibizumab and bevacizumab after one year of treatment, taking into account the drug and monitoring. |
2. Evaluar la influencia del sexo, la edad, el tabaquismo, la obesidad, la hipertensión y la AV en el momento del diagnóstico de DMAE en la respuesta al tratamiento de los dos fármacos. 3. Evaluar el perfil de seguridad de las inyecciones intravítreas de ranibizumab y bevacizumab, eventos cardiovasculares incluidos, tras 3 inyecciones y tres años de seguimiento. 4. Evaluar el impacto económico (perspectiva SNS) del uso de ranibizumab y bevacizumab al año de tratamiento, teniendo en cuenta el fármaco y el seguimiento. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Participate or have participated in another clinical trial with an experimental drug in the last 6 months. • Patients with other eye diseases, p. eg, advanced glaucoma or visually significant cataracts, which are likely to require surgery during the follow-up period in the eye under study. • Concomitant, ocular or systemic, administration of drugs up to 3 months before the treatment with another anti-VEGF in the contralateral eye. • High cardiovascular risk: poorly controlled arterial hypertension, history or risk of arterial thromboembolic events, history of stroke or acute myocardial infarction, anticoagulant treatment, proteinuria or major elective surgery within 3 months. • Ophthalmological risk with the intraocular injection (all intravitreal treatments): active or suspected ocular or periocular infection, severe blepharitis, history of endophthalmitis, history of retinal detachment, myopathy, glaucoma. • Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to the excipients. • Diabetic retinopathy documented. • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women. |
• Participar o haber participado en otro ensayo clínico con un fármaco experimental en los últimos 6 meses. • Pacientes con otras enfermedades oculares, pág. por ejemplo, glaucoma avanzado o cataratas visualmente significativas, que probablemente requieran cirugía durante el período de seguimiento en el ojo en estudio. • Administración concomitante, ocular o sistémica de fármacos hasta 3 meses antes del tratamiento con otro anti-VEGF en el ojo contralateral. • Alto riesgo cardiovascular: hipertensión arterial mal controlada, antecedentes o riesgo de eventos tromboembólicos arteriales, antecedentes de ictus o infarto agudo de miocardio, tratamiento anticoagulante, proteinuria o cirugía mayor electiva en 3 meses. • Riesgo oftalmológico con la inyección intraocular (todos los tratamientos intravítreos): infección ocular o periocular activa o sospechada, blefaritis grave, antecedentes de endoftalmitis, antecedentes de desprendimiento de retina, miopatía, glaucoma. • Hipersensibilidad al principio activo oa los excipientes. • Retinopatía diabética documentada. • Mujeres embarazadas o en período de lactancia (lactantes). |
