Lowering Events in Non-proliferative Retinopathy in Scotland (LENS)
May 13, 2025 updated by: University of Oxford
A Randomised Placebo-controlled Trial of Fenofibrate to Prevent Progression of Non-proliferative Retinopathy in Diabetes
LENS is a streamlined multicentre randomised placebo-controlled parallel-group trial investigating the effect of fenofibrate treatment on the progression of diabetic retinopathy/maculopathy.

Detailed Description
LENS is a phase 4 randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial of fenofibrate in participants with diabetes and observable retinopathy or maculopathy.
The trial aims to recruit approximately 1,060 participants and to treat them for a median duration of at least 4 years.
The main aim of LENS is to investigate the effect of fenofibrate therapy on progression to referable diabetic retinopathy/maculopathy.
The trial will be conducted using a pragmatic streamlined trial design with the only planned face-to-face visits being an initial screening visit, followed by a randomisation visit eight weeks later.
Contact with participants thereafter will be by means of regular telephone or computer questionnaire, and outcome and safety data will also be sought by means of linkage to NHS Scotland registries.
Prior to randomisation, eligible participants will enter an active run-in phase of 6 to 10 weeks.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Number of Participants With Progression to Referable Diabetic Retinopathy or Maculopathy, or Treatment
Time Frame: 4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
Primary outcome was a composite of the development of referable diabetic retinopathy or referable maculopathy, or treatment for diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy (including retinal laser therapy, vitrectomy or intravitreal injection of medication).
Referable diabetic retinopathy was defined by the NHS Scotland's grading criteria as any development of R3, R4 or M2 disease.
R3 (referable background diabetic retinopathy): any of four or more blot hemorrhages in both inferior and superior hemi-fields, or venous beading, or intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA); R4 (proliferative diabetic retinopathy): any active new vessels, or vitreous hemorrhage; M2 (referable maculopathy): any blot hemorrhages, or hard exudates within a radius of ≤1 optic disc diameter of the centre of the fovea.
Adverse event reports of eye procedures, vitreous haemorrhages and macular oedema were adjudicated by experienced doctors at the Central Co-ordinating Office (CCO), masked to treatment allocation.

R4 = Proliferative DR, R3 = Referable background DR, R2 = Observable background DR.
R1 = Mild background DR, R0 = No DR anywhere (where R4 is the highest severity grade and R0 is the lowest grade); M2 = Referable maculopathy, M1 = Observable maculopathy, M0 = No Maculopathy (where M2 is the highest severity grade and M0 is the lowest grade).

4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
|
Visual Acuity
Time Frame: 4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
Based on measurement of visual acuity at retinal screening visits.
Baseline visual acuity was taken from routine measurement within NHS Scotland's Diabetic Eye Screening programme (using the latest value within 18 months of randomisation).
Visual acuity after randomisation was obtained by averaging available results for a participant.
Conversion from Snellen to LogMAR was applied where necessary.
This analysis is based on the better eye: if only 1 eye with results, analyse that eye; if 2 eyes, use eye with better acuity; if identical acuity in both eyes, use the right eye.
LogMAR typically ranges from -0.3 (20/10 vision on the Snellen chart) to 1 (20/200 vision).
Lower scores indicate better vision.
|
4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
|
Visual Function, Based on the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25 (VFQ-25).
Time Frame: 4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
Visual function is based on the Visual Function Questionnaire-25.
Visual function was defined by the composite score derived from the VFQ-25.
VFQ-25 data were collected at the screening visit, after two years and at the end of the study.
Results from two years and end-of-study were averaged to provide a trial-averaged result for a participant.
The VFQ-25 composite score ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better visual function.
It is calculated by averaging results from up to 11 vision-related sub-scales.

4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
|
Quality of Life, Based on the EQ-5D Index Score
Time Frame: 4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
Quality of life was measured using the EQ-5D instrument, and valued by mapping to the EQ-5D-3L UK value set using the mapping function developed by Hernandez Alava et al.
Pharmaco Economics (2022).
EQ-5D data were collected at the screening visit, after two years and at the end of the study.
Results from two years and end-of-study were averaged to provide a trial-averaged result for a participant.
Possible scores range from -0.59 to 1.00, where 1 is the best possible health state and 0 represents a quality of life considered equivalent to death.
|
4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
|
Quality of Life, Based on the EQ-5D Visual Analogue Scale.
Time Frame: 4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years
|
EQ-5D Visual Analogue Scale data were collected at the screening visit, after two years and at the end of the study.
Results from two years and end-of-study were averaged to provide a trial-averaged result for a participant.
EQ VAS scores range from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best possible health state.
|
4.0 years (interquartile range, 3.6 to 4.3) years

Cost to the Health Service
Time Frame: 2 years
|
Health economic analysis: cost to the health service over 2 years.
This included (i) hospital inpatient and outpatient activity (costed with nationally representative NHS costs); (ii) costs of fenofibrate (based on 200mg NHS cost); (iii) laboratory tests (NHS cost (including nurse/doctor time)); (iv) community prescribed medicines (NHS costs); (v) NHS Scotland retinal screening (published NHS unit costs); (vi) treatment for advanced retinopathy: for relevant participants, application of assumptions regarding usual number of injections from UK cohort study.

Cost-effectiveness (Incremental Cost Per QALY Gained)
Time Frame: Projected over 10 year horizon

Health economic analysis: Cost-effectiveness (incremental cost per QALY gained).
The result is the value of GBP (British Pound) expenditure required to gain 1 quality adjusted life year for fenofibrate therapy vs. standard care.
Years gained are presented by arm with 95% credible intervals taken as 2.5th and 97.5th percentile of simulated probabilistic output.
