An observational study in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy, sponsored by Singapore National Eye Centre. Completed at 3 sites in Singapore. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-11-18.
Sponsored by Singapore National Eye Centre · Observational
To determine long-term outcomes, recurrence rates, and treatment needs in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV). Specifically, to describe the long-term outcomes, recurrence rates and treatment patterns PCV patients 5 years after first presentation. This study will also evaluate whether polyp closure within the first 12 months of therapy is associated with better long-term visual outcome and will also determine the risk of disease development in the fellow eye
The investigators will conduct a non-interventional, observational cohort study to assess the visual outcome of patients who have completed one of three recent randomized controlled trials in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) EVERESTII, PLANET, PCV Treat and Extend (T\&E) study. After completion of the randomized controlled trails (2 years for EVEREST II and PLANET; 1 year for T\&E study), patients will be released from clinical trial protocol. At approximately 6 years (2019-2024), patients will be contacted by research coordinators and invited to attend a follow-up examination.
Study Design:
Non-interventional, observational, cohort study
Clinical coordinators will contact patients of:
Contact of prior trial participants Participants from prior randomized control trials (EVEREST II, PLANET and PCV T\&E) will be contacted by phone and invited to attend 1 post-trial evaluation clinic.
Historical Information A history will be elicited from the participant and extracted from available medical records.
Data to be collected will include: age, gender, ethnicity and race, past medical history and medications being used, as well as ocular diseases, surgeries, and treatment.
An assessment of visual related quality of life will be performed using the impact of visual impairment (IVI) questionnaire.
Testing Procedures The following procedures will be performed (using the study technique and by delegated personnel) as part of usual care, it does not need to be repeated specifically for the study if it was performed within the defined time (within 14 days prior to visit).
Disease characteristics of the study eye assessed by the investigator including:
All the data collected from this visit, data from the prior trial and the clinical course and treatment from the end of the trial to this visit will be anonymized and sent to the Singapore Eye Research Institution (SERI) for analysis. Only the principal investigator and study team at site and SERI will have access to the anonymized collected information.
