IVB for Post-vitrectomy Hemorrhage in Diabetic Eyes

August 24, 2024 updated by: Universitas Padjadjaran

Effects of Intravitreal Bevacizumab Intraoperatively in The Prevention of Early Recurrent Vitreous Hemorrhage Post-Vitrectomy in Diabetic Vitreous Hemorrhage

Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy remains a significant complication with reported incidence ranging from 11 to 75%. Early and late recurrences are associated with various factors, including residual blood, fibrovascular tissue, and neovascularization. Despite attempts to reduce this complication with therapies like anti-fibrinolytic agents, gas tamponade, and peripheral cryotherapy, the outcomes remain unsatisfactory.

Detailed Description

Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy remains a significant challenge with high incidence and negative impact on visual outcomes. Despite various treatments, intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) has shown potential in reducing post-operative vitreous hemorrhage (PO-VH). This study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of intraoperative IVB in preventing PO-VH in patients undergoing vitrectomy for diabetic vitreous hemorrhage. This prospective, randomized controlled trial compared patients receiving intraoperative IVB to a control group. The primary outcome was PO-VH incidence at one month, with secondary outcomes including visual acuity change, time to VH clearance, and safety. Outcome assessors were masked to the study treatment. Data on demographics, medical history, visual acuity, VH grading, intraoperative findings, and postoperative complications will be collected. Statistical analysis compared PO-VH incidence and other outcomes between groups. This study will provide valuable evidence on the efficacy and safety of intraoperative IVB in preventing PO-VH, contributing to improved clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

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: Bevacizumab Intravitreal
Ten patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy under local anesthesia. Vitrectomy used 3 23-gauge sclerotomies, triamcinolone for hyaloid cleaning, and hemostasis by elevated pressure, endo-diathermy, or laser. Panretinal laser applied to unlasered retina. Retina examined for tears or bleeding. IOP set at 20mmHg, sclerotomies sutured if needed. Post-vitrectomy, 1.25 mg bevacizumab injected via 30-gauge needle in superotemporal or inferotemporal pars plana.
Drug: Bevacizumab Injection [Avastin]
Intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.05 mL) was injected at the completion of vitrectomy surgery.
Other Names:
  • Pars Plana Vitrectomy
Procedure: Pars Plana Vitrectomy

Experimental: Control
Eight patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy under local anesthesia. Vitrectomy used 3 23-gauge sclerotomies, triamcinolone for hyaloid cleaning, and hemostasis by elevated pressure, endo-diathermy, or laser. Panretinal laser applied to unlasered retina.

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
Incidence and Severity of Vitreal Hemorrhage Post-Operative
Time Frame: Day 1, 7, and 30
Calculation of incidence of Vitreal Hemorrhage Post Operative based on grading (Grade 0, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4) between two groups; higher grades are related to worse outcomes
Day 1, 7, and 30

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
Post operative visual Acuity, compared between groups
Time Frame: Day 1, 7, and 30
Visual acuity measured with a Snellen chart was converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis. Snellen visual acuity of finger counting was categorized as log MAR 2.0, and hand motion as log MAR 3.0
Day 1, 7, and 30
