Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether preoperative pegaptanib sodium safely improves vitreous hemorrhage prior to surgical intervention and to evaluate the stability of pre-existing tractional retinal detachment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for active PDR with TRD will receive a single intravitreal pre-operative 0.3mg Macugen™ prior to surgery versus sham injection.

Specific timing of the injection will be at no sooner than 7 days and no longer than 14 days prior to surgery.

Patients will receive a preinjection fundus photo and another post injection photo the day of surgery as dictated by the operative schedule.

Some photos may be limited secondary to vitreous hemorrhage. Follow up visits after surgery will be one day, one week, one month, and three months.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Best corrected visual acuity in the study eye between 20/30 and light perception (LP)
* Willingness to provide signed informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization
* Age ≥ 18 years
* For sexually active women of childbearing potential, agreement to the use of an appropriate form of contraception (or abstinence) for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria

* History of anti-VEGF treatment in the study eye
* History of previous pars plana vitrectomy in the study eye
* Intraocular surgery in the study eye within one month of the study
* Patients with extensive vitreous hemorrhage in conjunction with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
* Tractional retinal detachment from causes inconsistent with PDR, such as inflammation or trauma
* Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye that could either require medical or surgical intervention during the study period to prevent or treat visual loss that might result from that condition or if allowed to progress untreated could likely contribute to loss of at least 2 Snellen equivalent lines of BCVA over the study period.
* Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) in the study eye
* Active infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, or endophthalmitis in either eye
* Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye (defined as IOP≥ 35 mmHg despite treatment with anti-glaucoma medication)
* History of glaucoma-filtering surgery in the study eye
* History of corneal transplant in the study eye
