Summary

This is an open-label, Phase I/II study of intravitreally administered ranibizumab either 0.5-mg and/or 2.0-mg in subjects with clinical, angiographic, and ocular coherence tomography (OCT) evidence of diabetic retinopathy with associated diabetic macular edema following bevacizumab therapy. Thirty patients will be enrolled in this study.

Consented, enrolled subjects will receive multiple open-label intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab administered every 30 days (±7 days) for 3 injections during the mandatory treatment phase (Day 0, Month 1, and Month 2).

Subjects with complete resolution of diabetic macular edema after 3 intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab will be treated as necessary with 0.5 mg ranibizumab to treat recurrent macular edema for an additional 9 months (12 months from Day 0). The intent is to administer additional ranibizumab treatment if there is evidence of disease activity documented on OCT (e.g., intra-retinal fluid, subretinal fluid and/or cystic changes).

Subjects with residual diabetic macular edema following 3 intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab will be receive 3 intravitreal injections of 2.0 mg ranibizumab administered every 30 days (±7 days) for 3 injections at the Month 3, Month 4, and Month 5 study visits.

Beginning at the Month 6 study visit, subjects with complete resolution of diabetic macular edema following 3 intravitreal injections of 2.0 mg ranibizumab will treated as necessary with 2.0 mg ranibizumab injections only to treat recurrent macular edema for an additional 6 months (12 months from Day 0).

Subjects with residual diabetic macular edema following 3 consecutive intravitreal injections of 2.0 mg ranibizumab will be treated as necessary with 2.0 mg ranibizumab to treat persistent or recurrent macular edema for an additional 6 months (12 months from Day 0). Focal photocoagulation or intravitreal triamcinolone may be administered at the physician's discretion as an adjunct to ranibizumab injections beginning at Month 6 through Month 12 of the study.

All subjects will make monthly visits for 12 months for evaluation of safety and efficacy. All subjects will have their first injection of ranibizumab on Day 0 and undergo a safety visit one week (±2 days) after the first injection. At subsequent visits, the subject will have a safety evaluation at the monthly scheduled follow-up visit prior to any intravitreal injection. Subjects will be contacted by the site personnel 1-2 days after each injection to elicit reports of decreased vision or pain or unusual new ocular symptoms in the study eye.
