Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) as Measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Letter Score at Week 52 - Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)

    Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the ETDRS protocol, which is a widely accepted international standard for macular laser photocoagulation treatment. A higher score represents better functioning. LOCF censored measurements after additional treatment.

    Baseline up to week 52

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Gained at Least 10 Letters in BCVA as Measured by ETDRS Letter Score Compared With Baseline at Week 52 - LOCF

    Baseline up to week 52

  • Percentage of Participants Who Gained at Least 15 Letters in BCVA as Measured by ETDRS Letter Score Compared With Baseline at Week 52 - LOCF

    Baseline up to week 52

  • Percentage of Participants With a Greater Than Equal (>=) Two-step Improvement From Baseline in the ETDRS Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Score (DRSS) as Assessed by Fundus Photography (FP) at Week 52 - LOCF

    Baseline up to week 52

  • Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) at Week 52 as Assessed on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - LOCF

    Baseline up to week 52

  • Change From Baseline in National Eye Institute 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) Near Activities Subscale at Week 52 - LOCF

    Baseline up to week 52

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection 2Q4

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received 2 mg Intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) (Eylea, VEGF \[vascular endothelial growth factor\] Trap-Eye, BAY86-5321) every 4 weeks (2Q4) over 48 weeks.

Biological: Aflibercept (Eylea, VEGF Trap-Eye, BAY86-5321)

Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection 2Q8

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received 2 mg Intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) (Eylea, VEGF Trap-Eye, BAY86-5321) every 4 weeks until Week 16 and every 8 weeks (2Q8) thereafter, over 48 weeks.

Biological: Aflibercept (Eylea, VEGF Trap-Eye, BAY86-5321)

Macular Laser Photocoagulation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants received laser treatment at baseline and as needed at visits at which laser retreatment criteria were met, but no more frequently than every 12 weeks over 48 weeks.

Procedure: Macular Laser Photocoagulation

Interventions

Participants received 2mg Intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) (EYLEA, VEGF Trap-Eye, BAY86-5321) every 4 weeks (2Q4).

Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection 2Q4

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Adults ≥ 18 years with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Subjects with diabetic macular edema (DME) secondary to diabetes mellitus involving the center of the macula in the study eye
  • Decrease in vision determined to be primarily the result of DME in the study eye
  • Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) letter score of 73 to 24 (20/40 to 20/320) in the study eye

You may not qualify if:

  • Laser photocoagulation (panretinal or macular) in the study eye within 90 days of Day 1
  • More than 2 previous macular laser treatments in the study eye
  • Previous use of intraocular or periocular corticosteroids in the study eye within 120 days of Day 1
  • Previous treatment with antiangiogenic drugs in either eye (pegaptanib sodium, bevacizumab, ranibizumab etc.) within 90 days of Day 1
  • Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in the study eye
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, as defined by HbA1c \>12%
  • Only 1 functional eye even if that eye is otherwise eligible for the study
