Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Diabetic retinopathy is a significant source of visual morbidity in the adult population. Complications of diabetic retinopathy include ischemic maculopathy, macular edema, and sequelae of fibrovascular proliferation, such as vitreous hemorrhage (VH), tractional retinal detachment (TRD), and neovascular glaucoma.Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is traditionally performed for nonclearing VH, significant fibrovascular proliferation, refractive macular edema, and/or TRD, particularly if macula-involving. However, the pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial: Pro-infammatory cytokines and chemokines signifcantly contribute to the disease development and promote ischemic changes in the retina. Therefore, there is a potential role for intravitreal steroids in disease modifcation. Corticosteroids reduce not only leukostasis and infammatory cytokine production, but also VEGF expression. Experimentally, corticosteroids potentially can influence both the inflammatory and the proliferative components of the PVR process via a variety of modes of administration without evidence of demonstrable retinal toxicity. So, this study is carried out for the purpose of investigating the efficacy of slow-release dexamethasone implant in proliferative vitreoretinopathy of postoperative proliferative diabetic retinopathy. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
