About this study

Official title: The Effect of Bevacizumab on Peripheral Retinal Changes as Imaged by Wide -Field Fluorescein Angiography in Diabetic Macular Edema

Ultra-wide field fluorescein angiography can detect the response of anti VGEF therapy such as Avastin on retinal ischemia in the setting of diabetic macular edema.

Read the detailed description

The major causes of vision loss in diabetic retinopathy are diabetic macular edema (DME) characterized by thickening of the macula due to abnormal leakage of the retinal vasculature. Ischaemic changes and microvascular pathologies have long been hypothesized to play a role in the development of DME. In diabetic retinopathy, ischaemia stimulates the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which can lead to the breakdown of blood-retinal barriers, and may cause DME through an increase in retinal vessel permeability. DME is best evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) while retinal ischemia is determined by Fluorescein angiography. With the avaiability of ultra wide field fluorescein angiography, the investigators can now accurately measure the degree of ischemia in peripheral retina. Thus, this study will provide us data on the degree of retinal ischemia in nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) cases as well as the measurable change that occurs in retinal ischemia after intra vitreal injection of bevacizumab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bevacizumab in people with Non-proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, run by King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 6 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 3 Dec 2021. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Peripheral retinal ischemia (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 3 Dec 2021.
