Study Summary

This study is an interventional, prospective randomized study comparing the dexamethasone implant to intravitreal aflibercept. Subjects will have an initial single injection of aflibercept and will be randomized if diabetic macular edema persists. Each subject will be evaluated for 6 months following randomization. Thus, the study duration will be 12 months plus the recruitment period. Subjects will be evaluated every month for safety, efficacy as measured by SDOCT and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using the Electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E-ETDRS) protocol. In addition, ultra-widefield angiography will be performed at run-in visit, baseline, month 3, and month 6.

Primary Outcome

It is defined as the mean change in the thickness between the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the central 1mm. Discrepancy in total number relates to variable follow up for evaluation of change in parameter.

Interventions

  • DRUG Aflibercept
