What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Triple therapy of vitrectomy, IVTA and grid/focal laser photocoagulationProcedure or surgery

    all pars plana vitrectomy were accompanied with removal of retinal Internal limiting membrane (ILM) around fovea in round fashion with a dimension of approximately 2 disc diameters.

    IVTA was introduced at the end of surgery or on the next day (4mg in 0.1cc). Two weeks afterward, fluorescein angiography guided macular laser photocoagulation which consisted of direct photocoagulation on leaking microaneurysms and application of grid pattern laser was undertaken.

What is being measured

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

  1. Best-corrected visual acuity

    Measurement of visual acuity at every visit. VA at every visit was compared from VA at baseline

    Measured: At baseline, 6,12,24,36 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Central subfield macular thickness

    Automatically measured central subfield thickness from Stratus OCT

    Measured: 0,6,12,24,36 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Triple therapy of vitrectomy, IVTA and grid/focal laser photocoagulation in people with Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Edema, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 15 Sep 2010. 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 South Korea. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Best-corrected visual acuity (time frame: At baseline, 6,12,24,36 months after surgery). 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 15 Sep 2010.
