About this study

Official title: Comparative Study Between Pars Plana Vitrectomy With Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling With or Without Planned Foveal Detachment for Management of Non-tractional Refractory Diabetic Macular Edema

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined pars plana vitrectomy and planned foveal detachment through subretinal injection of ringer's solution in patients with non-tractional refractory diabetic macular edema.

Read the detailed description

In non-tractional cases, PPV allows a more efficient clearance of VEGF and other cytokines from the retina and improves retinal oxygenation by promotion of intraocular fluid currents, and relief of any subclinical tractional forces, thereby reducing DME.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined pars plana vitrectomy and planned foveal detachment through subretinal injection of ringer's solution in patients with non-tractional refractory diabetic macular edema.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vitrectomy + ILM peeling +/- planned foveal detachment via subretinal injection of ringer's solution. in people with Efficacy and Safety, run by Ain Shams University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Azza MA Said, MD (2001006228992, dr_azza_22@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in CMT by OCT at final visit (time frame: after 1 month and 3 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 6 Aug 2024.
