Brief Summary:
Efficacy of monthly intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) associated to systemic immunosuppression in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease and choroidal neovascularization. Minimum follow-up 12 months. Endpoints: 6 and 12 months of follow-up. Outcome measures: improvement of VA, decrease in central foveal thickness as measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and absence of intra/subretinal fluid.
Detailed Description:
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is associated with poor visual prognosis. Several treatments have been suggested, though there is still no standard therapy. CNV diagnosis will be based on fundus biomicroscopy (presence of serous retinal detachment with or without retinal hemorrhages), fluorescein angiography (FA) (presence of early phase hyperfluorescence with late phase leakage) and OCT findings (hyperreflective lesion related to a CNV complex with serous foveal detachment or intraretinal fluid with increased foveal thickness). Inflammation will be considered active if anterior chamber cells or optic disc leakage in FA is observed. Each patient will undergo a complete clinical exam, including best corrected visual acuity (VA) (Snellen charts). Once active CNV is identified, a loading dose of 3 injections of IV bevacizumab will be proceeded monthly and systemic immunosuppression will be introduced or intensified. After the first 3 injections, the patient will be clinically examined and OCT will be proceeded monthly. The persistence of intra/subretinal fluid in the OCT will indicate one more IV bevacizumab injection. Immunosuppression status evaluation will be done at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of follow up and intensification will be done if inflammatory signs or persistence of intraretinal fluid is observed. Presence of intra/subretinal fluid and manual measurement of retina central foveal thickness (CFT) will be proceeded in horizontal scan by the same examiner.
