Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Safety and Efficacy Study of Dexamethasone Versus Laser Photocoagulation in Participants With Diabetic Macular Edema (NCT NCT02121262)

NCT ID: NCT02121262

Last Updated: 2020-11-17

Results Overview

BCVA was measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The eligible eye with worse visual acuity was selected as the study eye. The average change was computed by subtracting the baseline BCVA from the area under the BCVA curve (AUC) divided by the total follow-up time for each participant. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model was used for the analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Month 12

Population: mITT population included all randomized and treated participants with at least one postbaseline BCVA measurement.

BCVA was measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The eligible eye with worse visual acuity was selected as the study eye. The average change was computed by subtracting the baseline BCVA from the area under the BCVA curve (AUC) divided by the total follow-up time for each participant. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model was used for the analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Month 12

Population: mITT population included all randomized and treated participants with at least one postbaseline BCVA measurement. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used

CRT was assessed using SD-OCT, a non-invasive diagnostic system that provides high-resolution imaging sections of the retina. SD-OCT is performed in the study eye after pupil dilation. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive change from baseline indicates worsening. The eligible eye with worse visual acuity was selected as the study eye. ANCOVA model was used for the analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Month 12

Population: mITT population included all randomized and treated participants with at least one postbaseline BCVA measurement. LOCF was used. Overall number of participants analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses.

FA is a technique for examining the circulation of the retina (and detecting any leakage) using a dye-tracing method. Early and transit images were taken of the study eye. Mid- and late-phase images were taken of the study and non-study eye. Electronic FA images were collected for evaluation by a reading center. The eligible eye with worse visual acuity was selected as the study eye. ANCOVA model was used for the analysis.
