Intracameral versus intravitreal bevacizumab for neovascular glaucoma
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Intracameral Versus Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection as an Adjunctive Therapy Before Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin-C in Neovascular Glaucoma: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Run by Prince of Songkla University · NCT03648814 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will try giving bevacizumab either into the front chamber of the eye (intracameral) or into the vitreous (intravitreal) to see which is safer and better at lowering eye pressure for adults with neovascular glaucoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with neovascular glaucoma, IOP >21 mmHg, visible NVI or NVA, at least hand-motion visual potential, and who can give informed consent and attend follow-up at the study center.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a single seeing eye, severe corneal edema or total hyphema obscuring the view, active ocular infection, bevacizumab allergy, major systemic cardiovascular/renal/hepatic disease, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding are unlikely to benefit or are excluded.

What this trial studies
This randomized interventional trial compares a single 1.25 mg/0.05 mL injection of bevacizumab delivered intracamerally versus intravitreally in adults with neovascular glaucoma and intraocular pressure above 21 mmHg who are candidates for trabeculectomy. Participants must have visible iris or angle neovascularization and at least hand-motion visual potential, and they will be followed with scheduled clinic visits for outcome assessment. Outcomes include intraocular pressure control, regression of neovascularization, need for additional glaucoma surgery, and ocular adverse events. The trial is conducted at the Glaucoma Unit, Department of Ophthalmology, Prince of Songkla University, with in-person follow-up required.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could identify the injection route that more quickly reduces neovascularization and lowers eye pressure, potentially improving surgical outcomes and preserving vision.
How similar studies have gone: Intravitreal bevacizumab has been widely reported to cause regression of ocular neovascularization and transient IOP lowering, whereas intracameral use has been described in smaller series and direct randomized comparisons are limited.
