Prompt Panretinal Photocoagulation Versus Intravitreal Ranibizumab With Deferred Panretinal Photocoagulation for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Prompt Panretinal Photocoagulation, 0.5-mg Ranibizumab, and 1 other intervention for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. Completed, enrolled 305 participants across 48 sites.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective of the protocol is to determine if visual acuity outcomes at 2 years in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) that receive anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy with deferred panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) are non-inferior to those in eyes that receive standard prompt PRP therapy. Secondary objectives include: * Comparing other visual function outcomes (including Humphrey visual field testing and study participant self-reports of visual function) in eyes receiving anti-VEGF with deferred PRP with those in eyes receiving prompt PRP. * Determining percent of eyes not requiring PRP when anti-VEGF is given in the absence of prompt PRP. * Comparing safety outcomes between treatment groups. * Comparing associated treatment and follow-up exam costs between treatment groups.

Timeline
Interventions
Panretinal photocoagulation alone at baseline (full session completed within 56 days).
Intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg ranibizumab (Lucentis™) at baseline and up to every 4 weeks using defined retreatment criteria.
PRP is deferred until failure/futility criteria for intravitreal injection are met.
