Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if a drug called netarsudil is safe and able to prevent the development of scar tissue after retinal detachment repair. Patients eligible for this study are those diagnosed with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment deemed at high risk for scar tissue formation (a process called 'proliferative vitreoretinopathy').

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: A patient must meet the following criteria to be eligible for inclusion in the study: 1. Diagnosed with primary RRD at high risk for PVR development. Specifically, the enrolled eye must include at least 1 but no more than 3 high risk features, which are designated as follows: multiple retinal breaks (3 or more); detachments involving two or more quadrants of the retina; duration of detachment > 3 weeks; vitreous hemorrhage; and choroidal detachment. 2. Consents to surgical repair with pars plana vitrectomy with or without scleral buckling 3. Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures 4. Able to provide a signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: A patient who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study: 1. Age < 18 years 2. Presence of PVR grade B or worse (as defined by the revised Retina Society PVR classification system) at time of surgical repair 3. Primary RRD repair is primary laser demarcation, primary cryotherapy, pneumatic retinopexy, or scleral buckling procedure alone. 4. Primary use of silicone oil or retinectomy during surgical repair 5. Prior incisional ocular surgery other than cataract extraction 6. History of or concurrent ruptured globe, intraocular foreign body, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, exudative age-related macular degeneration, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, sickle cell disease, uveitis or intraocular infectious disease 7. Not willing or unable to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures 8. Unable to provide a signed informed consent

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Single surgery anatomic success (retinal re-attachment) rate Successful retinal re-attachment after the primary surgery without requiring additional surgical interventions. Six months
Secondary Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed on ophthalmic examination at all time points. Adverse events of interest include endophthalmitis, intraocular inflammation, or retinal tear/detachment. Six months
Secondary The number of participants with evidence of grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) on retinal examination. PVR Grade C is defined by preretinal or subretinal retinal membrane, including a retinal star fold Six months
Secondary The number of participants with an epiretinal membrane as assessed on ocular examination or optical coherence tomography imaging Epiretinal membrane is defined as preretinal membrane overlying the macula. Six months
Secondary Change from baseline in visual acuity (Snellen) wearing habitual correction. Visual acuity will be measured using a typical Snellen chart. Six months
