Ranibizumab for Edema of the Macula in Diabetes: a Phase 2 Study ( The Read-2 Study)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Ranibizumab and Laser photocoagulation for Diabetic Macular Edema. Completed, enrolled 126 participants across 20 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study is being done to see if the investigational drug Ranibizumab (RBZ) given by injection into the eye, is safe and effective to use in people with diabetic macular edema (DME). The investigators want to compare RBZ to laser treatment which is the current standard way to treat DME. RBZ blocks a growth factor that is thought to be involved in the formation of abnormal blood vessels that cause loss of vision in patients with DME.
