About this study

Intravitreal injections (IVI) of antiangiogenic agents (AA) have revolutionized the management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) in particular. Approximately 600,000 AA IVIs are performed each year in France.

Corticosteroid IVIs are an alternative in the treatment of macular edema when it is diabetic or related to venous occlusion, but also due to inflammation.

Endophthalmitis is one of the most feared complications after IVI because of its poor prognosis, despite its low incidence (values found in the literature between 0.01% and 0.08%). IVI practices have evolved over the years based on the recommendations of specialized organizations, with the current recommendation not to use antibiotic prophylaxis.

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of intravitreal injections of anti-angiogenic agents and corticosteroids on the occurrence of endophthalmitis within 28 days following an injection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intravitreal Injection, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon.

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 9 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Frequency of occurrence of endophthalmitis (time frame: Up to 28 days following an intravitreal injection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03635268, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Feb 2026.
