To Compare Anti-VEGF Monotherapy With Anti-VEGF and EPM Grid Laser Combination Therapy for Diabetic Macular Edema — END-DME  

Diabetic Macula Edema Clinical Trial

Official title: To Compare the Efficacy of Monotherapy With Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (Ranibizumab or Bevacizumab) Versus Combination Therapy With Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and End-point-management Grid Laser Photocoagulation for Diabetic Macular Edema

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

Objectives:

To compare the efficacy of monotherapy with anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (ranibizumab or bevacizumab) with combined therapy with anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and end-point-management grid laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema.

Study design:

Open-label non-randomized interventional study.

Study overview:

This study aims to look at the efficacy of treating diabetic macular edema (DME) with either anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor(anti-VEGF) monotherapy, compared with combination therapy with anti-VEGF and End-Point-Management (EPM) grid laser photocoagulation, over a period of 6 months.

Various sites from across Asia (Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong) will participate. Depending on the availability of EPM laser, sites can either contribute to the 'Anti-VEGF monotherapy' arm, or to the 'Combination therapy' arm.
