Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of the Safety and Efficacy of a New Treatment for Macular Edema Resulting From Retinal Vein Occlusion (NCT NCT00168324)

NCT ID: NCT00168324

Last Updated: 2019-04-23

Results Overview

The cumulative response rate of 15 or more letter improvement was based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate. A Kaplan-Meier analysis takes into account patients who dropped out from the study prior to achieving the 15 letter improvement. Values ranged from 0-1, with a higher number indicating a higher probability of response.

Participant Flow

Patients were randomly assigned during the double-blind period of the study to treatment with 700 µg dexamethasone, 350 µg dexamethasone, or sham injection on Day 0. Patients who qualified to continue in the open-label period of the study received 700 µg dexamethasone on Day 180.

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters). The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The numbers of patients with at least a 15 or more letter improvement in BCVA in the study eye at each visit are presented.

Retinal thickness is assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the study eye. The retina is the light-sensitive part of the eye. OCT is a laser-based, noninvasive, diagnostic system providing high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the retina. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters). The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. Data are grouped into the following 5 categories based on change from baseline: ≥15 Letters Improvement, ≥5 and \<15 Letters Improvement, No Change (Between -5 to +5 Letters), ≥5 and \<15 Letters Worsening, and ≥15 Letters Worsening.
