Trial Outcomes & Findings for Macular Edema Ranibizumab v. Intravitreal Anti-inflammatory Therapy Trial (NCT NCT02623426)

NCT ID: NCT02623426

Last Updated: 2023-07-10

Results Overview

The primary outcome is the change in central subfield thickness from baseline to 12 weeks measured on a relative scale as the the proportion of the baseline central subfield thickness. The proportion of baseline subfield thickness is estimated by a mixed effect model that includes time points for baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12 and the treatment group. The treatment effect is the interaction (product) of time point and treatment. Contrasts of the model parameter estimates were used to calculate the change from baseline to week 12 and the comparison between treatment groups. Values less than 1 indicate a decrease in retinal thickness with lower values indicating greater decreases (improvement).The OCT outcomes were measured by masked readers. The 12-week visit was chosen as the time to assess the primary outcome because of the ranibizumab treatment schedule and the peak effect time for dexamethasone
