Posterior Subtenon Versus Intravitreal Injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide for Treatment of Uveitic Cystoid Macular Edema
A Phase 4 study testing Triamcinolone Acetonide in people with Uveitis and Cystoid Macular Edema, run by Oregon Health and Science University.
Trial summary
Macular edema is the most common sight threatening complication of uveitis which can lead to permanent loss of central vision. Triamcinolone acetonide ( the study drug)injection for treatment of cystoid macular edema(CME) is well established. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Posterior Subtenon Versus Intravitreal Injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide for Treatment of Uveitic Cystoid Macular Edema (CME)
Macular edema is the most common sight threatening complication of uveitis which can lead to permanent loss of central vision. Triamcinolone acetonide ( the study drug)injection for treatment of cystoid macular edema(CME) is well established. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of injecting the study drug inside the eye(intravitreal injection) and behind the eye(subtenon injection)
Read the detailed description
The study is randomized interventional non inferiority study that will enroll 30 adults aged 18 or older with the diagnosis of cystoid macular edema secondary to non-infectious uveitis. Potential subjects will be recruited from the retina and uveitis clinics at the Casey Eye Institute, Oregon health and science University(OHSU). Potential recruits will be asked to sign and date the informed consent and a copy will be given to subject prior to any study procedure. Subjects will have a screening visit before the injection procedure so that the study doctor can decide if they meet the criteria to be in the study. This study requires 6 visits to the clinic and will take 6 months to complete. During the screening visit, medical/ surgical/ ocular history and will be collected from the subject and medical records. Laboratory tests will be performed to rule out infectious uveitis if the subject has not already had infectious types of uveitis ruled out since the time of diagnosis of uveitis. Urine collection for pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential will be done. Examination of subjects will include measurement of visual acuity, examination of the front and back part of the eye, measurement of the eye pressure . A scan of the retina will be obtained by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). During the injection visit, history, examination, and pregnancy tests will be repeated in addition to receiving the injection. Subjects will be randomized to either injecting the study drug by intravitreal or subtenon routes. Examination after injection will be performed to rule out immediate complications. Then subjects will have 4 follow-up visits (2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months). During each visit, subjects will be asked about adverse events, concomitant medications, how their eyes feel in addition to obtaining a clinical examination and OCT.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Triamcinolone Acetonide in people with Uveitis and Cystoid Macular Edema, run by Oregon Health and Science University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Mean change in best corrected visual acuity( BCVA) (time frame: at 1,3 and 6 months after intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02598869, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Feb 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
