Trial summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of vitrectomy for the treatment of diabetic macular edema. Diabetes is known to cause retinal blood vessels to leak, leading to swelling of the central retina (macula), and decreased vision. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: International Consortium Investigating Early Vitrectomy in Diabetic Macular Edema Patients - the ICV-DME Study

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of vitrectomy for the treatment of diabetic macular edema. Diabetes is known to cause retinal blood vessels to leak, leading to swelling of the central retina (macula), and decreased vision. Removing the vitreous gel with vitrectomy surgery is known to decrease the swelling caused by diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is often treated with laser or injections of medicine in to the eye.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes With Diabetic Retinopathy With Macular Edema, run by Mayo Clinic at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 12 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 26 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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?

average (mean) improvement in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) as measured with Snellen visual acuity (time frame: 6 months). 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 26 Mar 2020.
