Trial Outcomes & Findings for Single Site, Masked, Randomized, Controlled Study to Assess Efficacy of Osurdex as Adjunct to Avastin Compared With Avastin Alone in the Treatment of Patients With Macular Edema Due to Central or Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (NCT NCT01085734)

NCT ID: NCT01085734

Last Updated: 2014-04-21

Results Overview

Visual Acuity was measured with ETDRS visual acuity test. Unit of measure is based on the ETDRS letter score scale, 0-97, where 0 = worst and 97 = best.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at a single center. The first subject for this study was screened on 18MAR2010 and enrolled on 26MAR2010. The subjects were existing patients in our medical clinic.

In total there were 10 screen failures; 4 did not meet the visual acuity requirements,3 did not meet the OCT requirements. One subject withdrew consent prior to randomization and one withdrew prior to randomization due to health issues

Measure
Group 1
Group 1 receives intravitreal Avastin at baseline followed by sham Osurdex at week 1. Additional treatment with Avastin was given at monthly intervals when the OCT central subfield thickness was greater than 250 microns. Retreatment with sham Osurdex occurred at month 4 one week after Avastin treatment if central edema was greater than 250 micros
Group 2
Group 2 receives intravitreal Avastin at baseline followed by Osurdex at week 1. Retreatment with Avastin was given at monthly intervals wehn the OCT central subfield thickness was greater than 250 microns. Retreatment with Osurdex occurred at month 4 one week after Avastin treatment if central edema was greater than 250 microns.
