“…The MARAN trial (Macular Relocation in Age-related Neovascular disease) was designed as a multicenter, prospective, randomised (1:1) clinical trial, whose aim was to assess the safety and the efficacy of macular translocation, taking into consideration difficulties and complications, such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy, double vision, etc. Patients were randomized to either surgery or a control group where they would receive standard treatment (observation or PDT) [57]. The recruitment rate, that was planned to be of 310 patients, was slow and the trial was stopped after finding only 28 patients.…”
