Treatment of Idiopathic Perifoveal Telangiectasia (IPT) With Open-Label Anecortave Acetate (15mg.).

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Idiopathic Perifoveal Telangiectasia

In brief

Idiopathic Perifoveal telangiectasia is a poorly understood disorder that involves the growth of blood vessels around the center of the macula(perifoveal region). These blood vessels may extrend beneath the retina to produce an area of sub-retinal neosvascularization(growth of abnormal blood vessels under the retina which "leak" fluid, causing reduction in vision. Limited forms of treatment are available in managing the neovascularization and its consequences. Anecortave Acetate injection is considered as an attempt to control the growth of the abnormal blood vessels.
