NCT00996437

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to determine if intravitreal injections of ranibizumab decrease the proportion of eyes in which vitrectomy is performed compared with saline injections in eyes presenting with vitreous hemorrhage from proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Treatment or "Failure" Defined as Vitrectomy

    The cumulative probabilities of vitrectomy by 16 weks (112 days) in each group were computed using the life-table method. The treatment group comparison was made using the log-rank test. Data were censored at the time point of the participant's last completed visit.

    within 112 days of randomization

  • Safety (Injected-related, Ocular Drug-related and Systemic Drug-related)

    Baseline to 16 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Ability to Complete Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP) in the Absence of Vitrectomy

    within 112 days of randomization

  • Extent of Vitreous Hemorrhage Measured by Optical Coherence Tomography Signal Strength

    4, 8 and 12 weeks

  • Visual Acuity Adjusted for the Baseline Acuity Regardless of Vitrectomy Status

    4, 8 and 12 weeks

  • Visual Acuity Better Than 20/40 and no Vitrectomy Prior to the Visit

    4, 8 and 12 weeks

  • Severe Visual Acuity Loss (Defined as <20/200)

    4,8 and 12 weeks

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age \>= 18 years Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (type 1 or type 2) At least one eye meets the study eye criteria listed below Able and willing to provide informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • A condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study (e.g., unstable medical status including blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and glycemic control).
  • A condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude subject undergoing elective vitrectomy surgery if indicated during the study.
  • Participation in an investigational trial that involved treatment with any drug within 30 days of randomization that has not received regulatory approval at the time of study entry.
  • Known allergy to any component of the study drug. Blood pressure \> 180/110 (systolic above 180 or diastolic above 110). Myocardial infarction, other cardiac event requiring hospitalization, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or treatment for acute congestive heart failure within 4 months prior to randomization.
  • Systemic anti-VEGF or pro-VEGF treatment within 4 months prior to randomization.
  • For women of child-bearing potential: pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant within the next 4 months.
  • Subject is expecting to move out of the area of the clinical center to an area not covered by another clinical center during the 12 months of the study.
  • Study Eye Criteria
  • A subject can have only one study eye. If both eyes are eligible at the time of randomization, the study eye will be selected by the investigator and subject before randomization.
  • The eligibility criteria for a study eye are as follows:
  • Vitreous hemorrhage causing vision impairment, presumed to be from proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and precluding completion of panretinal photocoagulation (or precluding assessment of completeness of prior PRP).
  • Immediate vitrectomy not required (investigator and subject are willing to wait at least 8 weeks to see if hemorrhage clears sufficiently without having to proceed to vitrectomy).
  • Visual acuity is light perception or better.
  • Prompt vitrectomy indicated, such as because of signs of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or traction detachment involving the macula present on ultrasound.
  • History of intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment for vitreous hemorrhage at any time in the past or for an indication other than vitreous hemorrhage in the past 2 months.
  • +3 more criteria
