Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Ranibizumab and Conbercept Pretreatment Before Vitrectomy in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating preoperative intravitreal injections of ranibizumab or conbercept for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the most common causes of irreversible blindness in diabetic retinopathy (DR).Although pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is the cornerstone for treatment of advanced PDR, related postoperative complications such as recurrent VH, NVG, and postoperative fibrovascular proliferation progression may still cause serious visual impairment. Preoperative intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs may represent a new strategy for making vitrectomy safer and more effective for severe PDR.

Interventions
IVR group means patients received intravitreal ranibizumab injections (IVR) (0.5mg/0.05ml) before vitreous surgery. IVC group means patients that received intravitreal conbercept injection (IVC) (0.5mg/0.05ml) before vitreous surgery.
