October 20, 2020 updated by: He Eye Hospital

Randomized Study on Diabetic Macular Edema Patients Receiving Ranibizumab and Dexamethasone or Ranibizumab Only.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the visual outcome and prognostic factors after intraocular injections of Ranibizumab or combination of Ranibizumab And Dexamethasone under pro re nata treatment regimen for Diabetic Macular Edema patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome after intraocular injections of Ranibizumab or combination of Ranibizumab and Dexamethasone under pro re nata treatment regimen for the patients with Diabetic Macular Edema patients. Mean change of logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity (VA), central foveal thickness (CFT), contrast sensitivity (CS) as well as predictive factors including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), vision related questionnaires and various other ocular parameters will be assessed.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with diabetic retinopathy and centre involving DMO, as determined by using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), in one or both eyes with:

  1. Central retinal subfield thickness of > 300 but < 400 microns as determined by SD-OCT due to diabetic macular oedema OR
  2. Central retinal subfield thickness of < 300 microns provided that intraretinal and/or subretinal fluid is present in the central subfield (central 1 mm) related to diabetic macular oedema AND
  3. Visual acuity of > 24 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters (Snellen equivalent > 20/320)
  4. Amenable to laser treatment, as judged by the treating ophthalmologist
  5. Over 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

Eyes of patients will not be included in the study if:

  1. The macular oedema is due to causes other than diabetic macular oedema such as epiretinal membrane, vitreomacular traction, vein occlusion, or others
  2. The eye is ineligible for macular laser treatment, as judged by the treating ophthalmologist
  3. The eye has DMO and central subfield retinal thickness (CST) of > 400 microns.
  4. The eye has activeA proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) requiring treatment.
  5. The eye has received intravitreal Anti- Vascular Endothelical Growth Factor (Anti-VEGF) therapy within the previous two months.
  6. The eye has received macular laser treatment within the previous 12 months.
  7. The eye has received intravitreal injection of steroids.
  8. The eye has received cataract surgery within the previous six weeks
  9. The eye has received panretinal photocoagulation within the previous 3 months
  10. Patients on pioglitazone and the drug cannot be stopped 3 months prior to entering into the trial and for the duration of the study
  11. The patient has chronic renal failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplant
  12. The patient has any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study (such as unstable medical status or severe disease that would make it difficult for the patient to be able to complete the study)
  13. The patient has very poor glycemic control and started intensive therapy within the previous 3 months
  14. The patient will use an investigational drug during the study
