Brief Summary

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

The purpose is to show the 3-month efficacy and safety in diabetic macular edema treated with intravitreal ziv-aflibercept.

Detailed Description

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

Multi-studies have shown that Intravitreal aflibercept (Eylea) is effective and safe in diabetic macular edema (DME) treatment and has gained FDA approval but it is expansive where ziv aflibercept (ZALTRAP) has the same molecule but with high osmilar buffer solution which is FDA approved for colon rectus cancer treatment and it is cost effective.

Studies have shown that intravitreal ziv aflibercept is safe and nontoxic despite the high osmolarity and even has short term effect in wet age related macular degeneration.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients with central diabetic macular edema
* Best corrected visual acuity is 20/25 or less
* Central macular thickness more than 250 microns
* Patients who are able to come for all follow-up

Exclusion Criteria

* Significant renal disease, defined as a history of chronic renal failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplant.
* Myocardial infarction, other acute cardiac event requiring hospitalization, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or treatment for acute congestive heart failure within 4 months prior to randomization
* For women of child-bearing potential: pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant within the next 3 years.
* Macular edema is present that is considered to be related to ocular surgery such as cataract extraction
* Substantial cataract that, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to be decreasing visual acuity by 3 lines or more
* History of major ocular surgery (including vitrectomy, scleral buckle, any intraocular surgery, etc.) within prior 4 months or anticipated within the next 6 months following randomization.
* Exam evidence of severe external ocular infection, including conjunctivitis, chalazion, or substantial blepharitis
