Trial Outcomes & Findings for Compare Safety/Efficacy of Labeled vs Wait-Extend Regimen of Lucentis in Turkish Patients With VI Due to DME (NCT NCT02262260)

NCT ID: NCT02262260

Last Updated: 2019-06-24

Results Overview

Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letters was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like chart while participants were in a sitting position at a testing distance of 4 meters. The range of ETDRS is 0 to 100 letters. A positive average change from baseline of BCVA indicates improvement

Measure
Labeled Regime Arm
Treatment will be given monthly and will be continued until maximum visual acuity is achieved (the patient's visual acuity is stable for three consecutive monthly assessments performed while on ranibizumab treatment). Thereafter patients should be monitored monthly for visual acuity. Treatment will be resumed when monitoring indicates loss of visual acuity due to DME. Monthly injections should then be administered until stable visual acuity is reached again for three consecutive monthly assessments (implying a minimum of two injections). The interval between two doses should not be shorter than 1 month
Wait and Extend Regime Arm
Lucentis (ranibizumab) 0.5 mg will be injected subsequently at baseline, month 1 and 2. After the three initial loading doses, patients will be called for the control visits 1 month later. If the visual acuity has reached a stable level and there is no sign of edema on OCT, patients will not receive intravitreal injection and will be called to come back 6 weeks later. The interval is increased by 2 weeks until a maximum of 8 weeks as long as the patient presents as stable regarding visual acuity, central retinal thickness and clinical findings. If there is a negative change, the interval is shortened back to 4 weeks.

BCVA score was based on the number of letters read correctly on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity chart assessed at a starting distance of 4 meters. An increased score indicates improvement in acuity. This outcome assessed the number of participants who had improvement of ≥5 letters of visual acuity at month 12 as compared with baseline
