Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of a New Treatment in Combination With Laser for Diabetic Macular Edema (NCT NCT00464685)

NCT ID: NCT00464685

Last Updated: 2019-04-24

Results Overview

BCVA is measured in the study eye 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 indicates improvement and a decrease in the number of letters read correctly indicates a worsening.

Timeframe: Baseline, Month 12

Population: Intent to Treat: all randomized patients

Central subfield retinal thickness is assessed in the study eye by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The central subfield is an area in the retina (back of the eye). OCT is a laser-based, noninvasive, diagnostic system that provides high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the retina from which retinal thickness can be measured. A negative number change from baseline indicates an improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening.
