Detailed Description

To assess the clinical effects of preoperative, intraoperative or preoperative combined with intraoperative intravitreal conbercept (IVC) injection in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil tamponade for severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods. These patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 received an IVC injection 3 to 5 days before surgery; Group 2 received an IVC injection at the end of surgery; and Group 3 received an IVC injection 3 to 5 days before PPV as well as an IVC injection at the end of PPV. Follow-up examinations were performed for at least six months after surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: IVC Preoperative group
Conbercept injection before vitrectomy
Drug: Conbercept
Conbercept is a humanized soluble fusion protein which has a high binding affinity to the Fc region of human immunoglobulin G1 simultaneously. Prior clinical studies have demonstrated that intravitreal conbercept (IVC) inhibits the process of angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro, and has been recognized as a novel effective treatment strategy for neovascularization, providing an alternative treatment option for ophthalmologists.
Experimental: IVC Postoperative group
Conbercept injection at the end of vitrectomy
Drug: Conbercept
Conbercept is a humanized soluble fusion protein which has a high binding affinity to the Fc region of human immunoglobulin G1 simultaneously. Prior clinical studies have demonstrated that intravitreal conbercept (IVC) inhibits the process of angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro, and has been recognized as a novel effective treatment strategy for neovascularization, providing an alternative treatment option for ophthalmologists.
Experimental: IVC Pre- and Post-operative group
First conbercept injection before vitrectomy and second at the end of operation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Best-corrected Visual Acuity
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months
Duration of Surgery
Time Frame: during the operation time
To evaluate the influence of these three methods to the final duration of surgery. We carefully estimated the time of the vitrectomy from insertion to extraction of the 23-gauge three-port trocars.
during the operation time
Intraoperative Bleeding
Time Frame: Time between the insertion and extraction of three 23-gauge vitrectomy ports
The grading criteria for intraoperative bleeding: Grade 1, spontaneous cessation of minor bleeding or bleeding that stopped by transient elevation of perfusion pressure; Grade 2, moderate bleeding requiring endodiathermy or broad blood clots formed far away from the bleeding site; Grade 3, thick blood clots exceeding half of the posterior pole or affecting the operation field.
Time between the insertion and extraction of three 23-gauge vitrectomy ports

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative Preretinal Blood
Time Frame: postoperatively, up to 1 week
The grading criteria for postoperative preretinal blood: Grade 1, isolated blood clots within 10 disk area but without covering the posterior pole; Grade 2, broad blood clots exceeding 10 disk area regardless of involvement of the posterior pole; Grade 3, broad blood clots exceeding 10 disk area as well as involving the posterior pole. Maximal extent of preretinal blood within 1 week postoperatively was used for grading the extent of hemorrhage.
postoperatively, up to 1 week
Reabsorption Time of Blood
Time Frame: follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
To monitor the reabsorption time of preretinal blood.
follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
Recurrent Vitreous Hemorrhage
Time Frame: follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage(VH) was referred to any new episode of VH occurring after one week postoperatively, dividing into early stage (≤ 4 weeks) and late stage (> 4 weeks).
follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
Frequency of Intraoperative Electrocoagulation
Time Frame: during the operation time
The number of times electrocoagulation, which was used to stop bleeding, was carefully counted.
during the operation time
Number of Participants With Neovascular Glaucoma (NVG)
Time Frame: follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
Recurrent Retinal Detachment
Time Frame: follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
follow up period, up to an average of 6 months after the operation
Need for Reoperation
