Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment of Post-surgical Cystoid Macular Edema With Topical Steroids Trial (TEMPEST-1) (NCT NCT01769352)

NCT ID: NCT01769352

Last Updated: 2017-09-15

Results Overview

Mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (Letter Score) at Week 12 from Baseline. The Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) score is measured on a scale from 5 to 100. The higher the score on this scale, the better is the patients vision.

Post-Cataract Surgery CME (PredAq1h+ Kelac Qid) - Group 1
Patients who developed cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery and are started on Prednisolone acetate (PredA) 1% ophthalmic solution every 1 hr while awake (WA) and Ketorolac (Kelac) 0.5% ophthalmic solution four times a day (qid) PredA + Kelac: At week 12, patients will be determined to be resolved, improving/stabilized or treatment failures. Patients who have complete resolution of edema will begin treatment withdrawal. Improving/stabilizing patients will maintain current therapy. Treatment failure Group 1 patients will be exited from the trial so that alternative therapy can be given.
Post-Cataract Surgery CME (PredA Qid + Kelac Qid) - Group 2
Patients who developed cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery and are started on Prednisolone acetate (PredA) 1% ophthalmic solution four times a day (qid) and Ketorolac (Kelac) 0.5% ophthalmic solution four times a day (qid) PredA + Kelac: At week 12, patients will be determined to be resolved, improving/stabilized or treatment failures. Patients who have complete resolution of edema will begin treatment withdrawal. Improving/stabilizing patients will maintain current therapy. Treatment failure Group 2 patients will move to Group 3 to receive PredA q1h WA + Kelac qid starting at week 12.
Post-Other Surgery CME (PredA q1h + Kelac Qid) - Group 1
Patients who developed cystoid macular edema (CME) after other surgery and are started on Prednisolone acetate (PredA) 1% ophthalmic solution every 1 hr while awake (WA) and Ketorolac (Kelac) 0.5% ophthalmic solution four times a day (qid) PredA + Kelac: At week 12, patients will be determined to be resolved, improving/stabilized or treatment failures. Patients who have complete resolution of edema will begin treatment withdrawal. Improving/stabilizing patients will maintain current therapy. Treatment failure Group 1 patients will be exited from the trial so that alternative therapy can be given.
Post-Other Surgery CME (PredA Qid + Kelac Qid) - Group 2
Patients who developed cystoid macular edema (CME) after other surgery and are started on Prednisolone acetate (PredA) 1% ophthalmic solution four times a day (qid) and Ketorolac (Kelac) 0.5% ophthalmic solution four times a day (qid) PredA + Kelac: At week 12, patients will be determined to be resolved, improving/stabilized or treatment failures. Patients who have complete resolution of edema will begin treatment withdrawal. Improving/stabilizing patients will maintain current therapy. Treatment failure Group 2 patients will move to Group 3 to receive PredA q1h WA + Kelac qid starting at week 12.

Prednisolone Acetate Every 1 Hour While Awake (Group 1)
n=22 participants at risk
Patients who were given Prednisolone Acetate (PredA) 1% ophthalmic solution every 1 hour while awake. Adverse events are dose dependent and they don't depend on the type of surgery patient underwent previously. Therefore both, post-cataract surgery macular edema and post-other surgery macular edema adverse events were clumped together for patients who received PredA every 1 hour (q1h) - Group 1.
Prednisolone Acetate Four Times a Day (Group 2)
n=20 participants at risk
Patients who were given Prednisolone Acetate (PredA) 1% ophthalmic solution four times a day Adverse events are dose dependent and they don't depend on the type of surgery patient underwent previously. Therefore both, post-cataract surgery macular edema and post-other surgery macular edema adverse events were clumped together for patients who received PredA four times a day (qid) - Group 2.
