Single Site, Masked, Randomized, Controlled Study to Assess Efficacy of Osurdex as Adjunct to Avastin Compared With Avastin Alone in the Treatment of Patients With Macular Edema Due to Central or Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

March 13, 2014 updated by: Raj K. Maturi, MD, Maturi, Raj K., M.D., P.C.

A 6-Month, Single Site, Masked, Randomized,Controlled Study to Assess Efficacy of Osurdex as Adjunct to Avastin Compared With Avastin Alone in the Treatment of Patients With Macular Edema Due to Central or Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Comparative study to see if treating with Osurdex in addition to Avastin in patients with retinal vein occlusions helps increased visual acuity outcomes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline Visual Acuity at 6 Months
Time Frame: 6 months
Visual Acuity was measured with ETDRS visual acuity test. Unit of measure is based on the ETDRS letter score scale, 0-97, where 0 = worst and 97 = best.
6 months

baseline to 6 months
Change in Macular Thickness and Macular Volume
Time Frame: 6 months
OCT central subfield thickness measured in microns
6 months
