Pilot and Phase 2 Study of the Efficacy of a Treatment Protocol With Dexamethasone Implant Loading Dose in Patients With Diabetic Macular Edema (LOADEX)

Nowadays, steroids and anti-VEGF are the first line treatment for diabetic macular edema. Ozurdex is the most frequently used steroid and has label for both first and second line treatment. Ozurdex treatment paradigm for patients with diabetic macular edema is to inject patient only in case of huge recurrence. The risk of this scheme is a progressive loss of vision due to photoreceptors loss. A more pro-active regimen, as it already exists for anti-VEGF treatment, would allow a better patient management. A new treatment paradigm consisting in a loading dose of 2 injections within 12 weeks, followed by a PRN (Pro Re Nata) regimen with strict retreatment criteria and minimal time limit of 12 weeks between two injections should result in a better visual acuity gain and a limited augmentation of the number of injections (which will remain lower than the number observed for anti-VEGF treatment). The investigators have therefore chosen a pilot study to investigate the impact on efficacy and on the number of intravitreal injections (IVI) of such a scheme.

Observational Study of Adult Participants With Diabetic Macular Edema and Suboptimal Response to Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Treated With Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant

The dexamethasone 700 μg intravitreal implant (DEX-I) delivers dexamethasone gradually to the retina over time. It is an approved drug for the treatment of DME. This study will assess adult participants with diabetic macular edema (DME) and suboptimal response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy that are treated with DEX-I in the routine clinical setting. Approximately 327 participants who are prescribed DEX-I by their physicians will be enrolled at approximately 40 sites in approximately 10 countries globally. Participants will be followed for 18 months post-DEX-I implantation according to the routine clinical practice of the prescribing centers. Only one eye per participant will be evaluated in the study. No additional burden for participants in this trial is expected.

Speculum-Free Intravitreal Injection Using Cotton-Tipped Applicator Retraction: Pain, Procedure Time, Patient Satisfaction, and Safety

This randomized controlled trial compares two techniques for eyelid retraction during intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-VEGF agents: the standard wire eyelid speculum (Group A) versus cotton-tipped applicator retraction (Group B) in patients with neovascular AMD, diabetic macular edema, or retinal vein occlusion. The study evaluates four outcomes: (1) patient pain perception measured by a 10-cm visual analogue scale immediately after injection; (2) procedure duration from retraction device placement to removal; (3) patient satisfaction assessed by a 5-item Likert scale; and (4) safety including rates of subconjunctival hemorrhage, corneal abrasion, endophthalmitis, and intraocular pressure elevation. A novel syringe cap technique using the Terumo 31G insulin syringe plastic cap as an injection-site marker (3.5 mm for pseudophakic eyes, 5.0 mm for phakic eyes from the limbus) is employed in both groups, replacing the traditional caliper. Randomization is stratified by diagnosis and prior injection history using permuted block randomization (block sizes 4 and 6). The target sample size is 120 patients (60 per group) at Walailak University Hospital, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand.

A Study in People With Diabetic Macular Edema to Test How Well Different Doses of BI 3812465 Are Tolerated

This study is open to adults with diabetic macular edema that involves the center of the eye. The purpose of this study is to find out how well different doses of a medicine called BI 3812465 are tolerated by people with this condition. This is the first time BI 3812465 is given to humans. This study has 2 parts. In Part 1, a small number of participants receive low, medium, or high doses of BI 3812465. The first participants to start the study get low doses of BI 3812465. Participants who start later get higher doses only if the lower doses were tolerated. In Part 2, a larger number of participants are placed into low, medium, or high dose groups. Participants in both parts of the study get BI 3812465 as injections into the back of the eye for a total of 3 eye injections. Participants are in the study for up to 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site 19 times. Where possible, some visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. At study visits, the doctors check the severity of participants' eye condition and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 3812465.

South Asian Patients With Diabetic Macular Oedema Treated With Faricimab Assessing the Efficacy, Durability, and Safety (SEAFAR Study)

The YOSEMITE and RHINE trials, which studied DMO treated with faricimab, had a majority Caucasian cohort, and the small Asian cohort was East Asian, with no South Asian representation. South Asians have a much higher prevalence of diabetes and its ophthalmic complication of DMO. The SEAFAR study is designed to address this unmet need by specifically evaluating faricimab in a UK-based South Asian cohort with diabetic macular oedema (DMO), delivered via a pragmatic treat-and-extend regimen, for clinically meaningful visual acuity gains, durable anatomic control of DMO, and an acceptable safety profile at week 88 in South Asian patients, with interim benefits by week 52.

Study of Two Multiple Intravitreal Doses of BAT5906 for Safety and Efficacy in Patients With Diabetic Macular Edema

This study is a multi-center, open, multiple-dose phase Ib/IIa clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of BAT5906 injection in patients with diabetic macular edema. BAT5906's phase I study on w-AMD shows that it is safe from 0.3-4.0 mg, and the higher dose (2.5 mg and 4 mg) may maintain the anti-VEGF effect for a longer time just like the same target drugs (such as brolucizumab and Abecip ) It has also been found in clinical studies that high doses can extend the dosing interval and reduce the dosing frequency. Therefore, in this study, two safe and effective doses were selected, and the optimal clinical effective dose and frequency of BAT5906 in DME were initially explored.

Home- vs Hospital-based Care of Anti-VEGF Treatment for Diabetic Macular Edema: Non-inferiority RCT

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a common cause of central visual loss in diabetic patients and a global public health burden around the world. Most patients with DME and vision loss require pharmacological inhibition using anti-VEGF agents with multiple monitoring visits that require both visual acuity testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to determine if re-treatment is warranted as well as the recommended time interval to the next follow-up visit. However, this treatment regimen often requires monthly or every other month clinic visits, which places a substantial burden on ophthalmic clinics and patients. Recently, portable self-administered Home OCT devices have been developed that allow for home-based OCT scanning of retinal diseases, e.g., DME, although these devices do not include visual acuity determination. The investigators previously proposed to deliver Home OCT devices and Home visual acuity tester to patients\' homes to complete routine monitoring visits at home. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of this novel monitoring regimen for DME patients, specifically whether its use could reduce the burden associated with frequent hospital visits without sacrificing visual acuity outcomes. This study aims to provide evidence to support use of a novel monitoring regimen for DME patients that could substantially reduce the burden associated with frequent hospital visits without sacrificing visual acuity outcomes.
