Filter by:Purpose: To evaluate the short-term effect of adding topical ketorolac to the management of diabetic macular edema (DME) with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB). Setting: Ophthalmology department of Imam Hossein and Torfe Medical Centers. Ophthalmic Epidemiology Research Center of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Methods: In a randomized double-masked placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial, all eyes with DME with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between 20/40 and 20/400 were included. They should have had at least one intravitreal anti-VEGF injection in the past 2 months. They were randomized into two groups. Both groups received two IVB injections with 6-week interval. One group received topical ketorolac every 6 hour in the first interval and then artificial tear every 6 hour as a placebo in the second interval. The other group received the opposite medications. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) evaluations were repeated at the termination of each treatment period i.e. at 6 and 12 weeks. The main outcome measure was BCVA changes in logMAR and the second outcome was CMT changes. The interim analysis of this study is presented in this report.
To determine if cataract surgery may have an impact on the natural history of early DME (E-DME)
Vitrectomy is required for removal of vitreous hemorrhage or retinal traction tissue in some patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Post-vitrectomy macular edema may occur in these diabetic patients. Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents or corticosteroid are required for treating diabetic macular edema (DME) in vitrectomized eyes. Intraocular levels of various cytokines may alter in the diabetic eyes following vitrectomy. Pharmacokinetics may be different between various intraocular agents in vitrectomized eyes. Herein our study will prospectively randomize to compare the clinical behavior between intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) and intravitreal dexamethasone implant (IDI) in vitrectomized patients with DME. To our knowledge, it is the first study involving such subject.
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a sign of diabetic retinopathy that affects central vision. It is also a leading cause of visual decline in younger patients, especially in developing countries like our Arab community. Intra-vitrreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (AVEGF) in management of DME had significant improvement in the final logMAR Un-corrected Distant Visual Acuity ( UCDVA) and logMAR Best Corrected Distant Visual Acuity (BCDVA), as well as reduction in the central retinal thickness from baseline measurement.
Phase 2a multicenter, open-label, parallel-arm design study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of a single intravitreal injection comparing 2 dose levels of GB-102 on subjects with Diabetic Macular Edema and Retinal Vein Occlusion
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of Chinese patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of switching from bevacizumab to ranibizumab (Lucentis; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) or aflibercept (Eylea; Regeneron, Tarrytown, NY) in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) nonresponders to bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA). METHODS: Single-center retrospective comparative study of patients with DME unresponsive to intravitreal bevacizumab that were switched to ranibizumab or aflibercept. Best-corrected visual acuity and central foveal thickness will be analysed prior to and 3 months after the switch. OCT biomarkers will also analyzed. A p value of 0.05 or less will be considered to be statistically significant. HYPOTHESIS: Patients will improve anatomically and functionally after switch.
To compare the efficacy and comfort of two FDA approved pre-injection antiseptics when used for intravitreal injections.
Purpose: To evaluate the role of adjuvent micropulse laser with Aflibercept injections in the management of treatment naïve centre involving DME, looking at decreased treatment burden and increased efficacy as outcomes. Methods: This was a prospective, single centre, randomized trial that included 40 eyes (40 patients) with previously untreated centre involved DME. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Aflibercept plus micropulse laser (group A) or Aflibercept monotherapy (group B).
