Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Pre-PRP protocol refraction, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography AND 7-14 day post-PRP OCT
  • Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study assessments for the full duration of the study
  • Age 21 years or older
  • Previously untreated PDR patients with high risk characteristics who develop edema within 7-14 days post PRP therapy. This edema, determined by a masked investigator, will be characterized as either increased foveal thickness (>10% increase from pre-PRP foveal thickness), and/or increased macular volume on OCT (>10% increase from pre-PRP macular volume).

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) prior to enrollment in the study
  • Any other condition that the investigator believes would pose a significant hazard to the subject if the investigational therapy were initiated.
  • Participation in another simultaneous medical investigation or trial
  • Pre-PRP clinically significant diabetic macular edema (CSME) that would make the patient eligible for macular laser prior to PRP
  • Neovascularization of the iris or neovascular glaucoma
  • Increased central foveal thickness for any other reason
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Concurrent macular diseases that could confound the results of this study
  • Prior vitrectomy in the study eye
  • Prior treatment with intravitreal injection including pegaptanib sodium, ranibizumab, bevacizumab or triamcinolone acetonide

About this study

This is a randomized, open-label Phase II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of intravitreally administered ranibizumab 0.5mg in subjects with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy experiencing post- Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP) macular edema.

Read the detailed description

Levels of VEGF are elevated in eyes wth Diabetic Macular Edema and the expression of VEGF was found to be elevated temporarily following the photocoagulation of human Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) cells. Ranibizumab (Lucentis TM, Genentech) is an anti-VEGF antibody shown to have properties to prevent macular edema. We hypothesize that VEGF inhibition can effectively treat PRP-induced macular edema, thereby minimizing post-PRP vision loss.

Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will receive 0.5mg ranibizumab administered 7-14 days post-PRP. Additional intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg of ranibizumab at Day 30 and/or Day 60 may be also be administered. All subjects will be followed for 90 days for safety and efficacy assessments. There is no placebo or sham arm of this trial.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Change From Pre-PRP Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at 3 Months as Expressed as an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Score (Number of Letters Correctly Read.)

    No outcome measures were obtained for this study. Study was terminated by Investigator/Sponsor due to low enrollment. The data was not formally analyzed but reviewed only on a case study basis.

    Measured: March 2010

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Change From Pre-PRP Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Central Foveal Thickness and Macular Volume as Assessed by OCT at 1, 2 and 3 Months.

    No outcome measures were obtained for this study. Study was terminated by Investigator/Sponsor due to low enrollment. The data was not formally analyzed but reviewed only on a case study basis.

    Measured: March 2010

  2. Percentage of Patients That Maintain Pre-PRP Visual Acuity at the 3 Month Time Point

    No outcome measures were obtained for this study. Study was terminated by Investigator/Sponsor due to low enrollment. The data was not formally analyzed but reviewed only on a case study basis.

    Measured: March 2010

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ranibizumab in people with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Edema, run by Jumper, J. Michael, M.D. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Apr 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Change From Pre-PRP Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at 3 Months as Expressed as an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Score (Number of Letters Correctly Read.) (time frame: March 2010). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2019.
