NCT02151695

Brief Summary

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, partly consecutive to upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a consequence of retinal ischemia leads. Aflibercept has been approved by FDA and European medicine agency for treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration, another retinal disease characterized by choroidal new vessels. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Aflibercept intravitreal injections compared to panretinal photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
