Clinical Trial Summary

Intravitreal ranibizumab alone was Compared to adding dexamethasone to ranibizumab regarding central macular thickness, the visual acuity and the number of intravitreal injections needed to achieve the same effect on CMT and BCVA at the end of the 6 months duration of the study. Any significant change in final IOP, compared to baseline, in either group is reported.


Clinical Trial Description

This prospective randomized study measures the changes in central macular thickness, best corrected visual acuity and IOP in diabetic macular edema before and after the intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and dexamethasone, compared to ranibizumab alone, the current gold standard of care for diabetic macular edema. Study participants were randomized into 2 groups: the first group received 3 Intravitreal injections of ranibizumab alone 1 month apart. While the second group received 1 Intravitreal injection of a combination of ranibizumab and 0.4 mg in 0.1 ml dexamethasone followed by 2 Intravitreal ranibizumab, 1 month apart (with dexamethasone if follow up OCT shows less than 10% improvement from baseline). Treatment was stopped when the treated eye achieved a central macular thickness of 250 microns or less with no focal parafoveal edema. Final recorded central macular thickness in both groups compared to the baseline. By the end of the follow up period. Final visual acuity was assessed in both groups compared to the baseline Change in final IOP, compared to baseline, in ranibizumab group and ranibizumab with dexamethasone group. . The number of injections needed to achieve the same effect on CMT and BCVA. ;
