NCT01439178

Brief Summary

Purpose: To evaluate the acute changes in intraocular cytokines after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Design: Prospective, open-label, controlled, randomized interventional clinical trial. Participants: Twenty eyes of 28 consecutive patients who are scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy (ppV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy were prospectively enrolled. Methods: All patients were randomly assigned to receive IVB either at 2 or 7 days before ppV. Aqueous humor samples were taken from anterior chamber just before IVB and at the time of surgery. Multiplex cytokine array were used to assay various cytokines

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • intraocular VEGF levels (pg/ml) in both groups (measured in aqueous humor), using multiplex beads immunoassay

    Because we want to compare the differences between day 2 and day 7, vitrectomy will be performed at day 2 in group 1 and day 7 in group 2. That's why the time frame has two time point

    At day 2 after IVB in Group 1, day 7 after IVB at group 2.

Study Arms (2)

Intravitreal Avastin Day 2

EXPERIMENTAL

randomized to either treatment with preoperative IVB 2 days before PPV (Group A) or 7 days before PPV (Group B).

Drug: Intravitreal Avastin injection

Intravitreal Avastin Day 7

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

randomized to either treatment with preoperative IVB 2 days before PPV (Group A) or 7 days before PPV (Group B).

Drug: Intravitreal Avastin injection

Interventions

Bevacizumab (1.25 mg in 0.05 ml) (Avastin; Genentech Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA) will be injected through the pars plana at 3.5 mm from the limbus, using 30 gauge needle.
