About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Topic Antiinflammatory Therapy Treatment in Center Point Thickness Secondary to Selective Photocoagulation in Diabetic Macular Edema

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ocular topic antiinflammatory therapy (sodic nepafenac at 0.1% or ketorolac at 0.5%) to treat center point thickness secondary to selective photocoagulation in diabetics with clinically significant macular edema.

Read the detailed description

Selective photocoagulation is the standard treatment for clinically significant macular edema. This treatment decreased the incidence of moderate visual loss in the long term. Nonetheless, in the first six weeks after treatment it is induced, probably because an exacerbation of macular edema secondary to treatment. An inflammatory response has been reported after selective photocoagulation. Therefore, antiinflammatory therapy like ketorolac or nepafenac could be useful to manage center point thickness secondary to selective photocoagulation in diabetics with macular edema.

What is being measured

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

  1. ocular topic antiinflammatory therapy (ketorolac, nepafenac or placebo) applied 3 times a day in the treated eye for a week after selective photocoagulation

    Measured: one week after treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. center point thickness using stratus OCT measured in microns

    Measured: before treatment, at 24, 48 and 168 hours after treatment

  2. macular volume using stratus OCT measured in cubic millimeters

    Measured: before treatment, 24, 48 and 168 hours after treatment

  3. visual capacity under subjective refractive correction measured in decimal equivalent

    Measured: before treatment, at 24, 48, 168 hours after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ketorolac, Nepafenac and Polietilenglicol 400, propilenglicol in people with Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Edema, run by Hospital Juarez de Mexico at 1 site in Mexico.

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 7 inclusion and 17 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2015. 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 Mexico. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

ocular topic antiinflammatory therapy (ketorolac, nepafenac or placebo) applied 3 times a day in the treated eye for a week after selective photocoagulation (time frame: one week after treatment). 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 20 Mar 2015.
