Diabetic Macular Edema Clinical Trial
Official title:
Microinvasive Pars Plana Vitrectomy Combined ILM Peeling Versus Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injection for Treatment-naïve Diabetic Macular Edema
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of vision loss in patients with diabetes. At present, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injection is the first-line therapy for DME, nevertheless, some patients do not respond well to anti-VEGF agents and often require multiple injections, which increases the psychological and economic burden of patients. Microinvasive pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has been proven to be safe and effective for refractory DME. However, there are few studies on treatment-naïve DME. The purpose of this study is to explore whether early PPV combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling can reduce the treatment burden of DME patients, prevent vision loss, and maintain long-term stabilization of diabetic retinopathy.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Best corrected visual acuity change (BCVA) | Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Alphabet Chart | 1, 3, 6, 12 month postoperatively | |
Primary | Central subfield thickness (CST) change | Three-dimensional spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) | 1, 3, 6, 12 month postoperatively | |
Secondary | The stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR) | The grading and classification of DR will follow the International Clinical Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Oedema Disease Severity Scales. Ultra-wide field fundus photography will help investigators grade diabetic retinopathy. | 12 month postoperatively | |
Secondary | Cost-effectiveness analysis | The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is used as the evaluation index in cost-effectiveness analysis. The average cost of the two groups of treatments is taken as willingness to pay (WTP). If ICER is less than WTP, the treatment scheme is cost-effective. | 12 month postoperatively | |
Secondary | Vision-related quality of life questionnaire | The National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (NEI-VFQ-25) will be used to evaluate the vision-related quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100, and lower scores indicate a poorer quality of life. | 6, 12 month postoperatively | |
Secondary | Biomarkers of optical coherence tomography (OCT) | Scanning was centred on the macular fovea with a scan length of 6 mm. The resolution was 5 µm, the scan depth was 4 mm, and the scan mode was horizontal linear scanning of 512×128. | 1, 3, 6, 12 month postoperatively | |
Secondary | Biomarkers of OCT angiography (OCTA) | The scanning area, centred on the fovea, was captured in 3×3 mm sections with a resolution of 304×304 pixels. | 1, 3, 6, 12 month postoperatively | |
Secondary | Occurrence rates of re-treatment | Pro re nata conbercept treatment will be performed if the following criteria are met: (1) existence of recent or persisting cystoid retinal lesions; (2) a decrease of no less than 5 ETDRS letters in BCVA; and (3) an increase of 50 µm or more in CST compared with the best value previously achieved. | 12 months postoperatively | |
Secondary | Occurrence rates of adverse events | Ocular hypertension, progression of cataract, corneal abrasion, retinal injury, hyphaemia, uveitis or inflammatory reaction, and endophthalmitis. | 12 months postoperatively |
