Who may be able to join

  • Aged ≥18 years, men or women
  • Severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy was diagnosed with any one of the following, according to the International Classification of Clinical Severity of Diabetic Retinopathy: more than 20 intraretinal hemorrhaged spots in any one of four quadrants, definite venous beading in more than two quadrants, or definite intraretinal microvascular changes in more than one quadrant.

  • At least partial corneal transparency (or central corneal transparency), good pupil dilation and full cooperation with PRP, and ensure that the fundus examination, visual function examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination can be performed after vitrectomy.
  • Able and willing to sign informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Unwilling or unable to provide consent for participation in the study, unwilling to submit to the randomisation process or unable to return for the scheduled protocol visits
  • Participating in another clinical trial within the past 3 months.

  • For women of childbearing age: potential study participants would be questioned about pregnant, lactating or intending to become pregnant within the next 3 years. The investigator would determine when a pregnancy test is required.

About this study

To investigate the prognosis of retinal structure and function after vitrectomy in patients with severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, to explore the feasibility of vitrectomy in patients with severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR), and to seek the best way to delay the progression of diabetic retinopathy from the perspective of therapeutic effect.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomized into three groups according to the random number table: vitrectomy group, vitrectomy + panretinal photocoagulation group and panretinal photocoagulation group alone. 1. Vitrectomy group: vitrectomy was performed for severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, but retinal laser photocoagulation was not performed. 2. Vitrectomy + panretinal photocoagulation group: vitrectomy was performed for severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and retinal laser photocoagulation was performed during the operation. 3. panretinal photocoagulation group: only retinal laser photocoagulation treatment was performed for severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. All patients were regularly reviewed after surgery (preoperative, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and the time and frequency of follow-up were increased according to the specific condition recovery), and the same physician assessed the retinal restoration and visual acuity recovery, and the follow-up time was not less than 12 months. The main outcome measures included the incidence of PDR, such as vitreous hemorrhage, the presence of neovascularization, fibroproliferative membranes, or traction retinal detachment. Secondary study endpoints included: (1) optimal corrected visual acuity; (2) Changes in the thickness of each retina layer; (3) Visual field changes; (4) area of retina without perfusion; (5) retinal neovascularization area; (6) the epiretinal membrane; (7) Low intraocular pressure/increased intraocular pressure, iris neovascularization and lens opacity, etc.

Being tested
pars plana vitrectomy(PPV), Pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) +Panretinal photocoagulation(PRP), Panretinal photocoagulation(PRP)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)Procedure or surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pars plana vitrectomy(PPV), Pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) +Panretinal photocoagulation(PRP) and Panretinal photocoagulation(PRP) in people with Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy(NPDR), run by Fei Gao at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) (time frame: 24months postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 15 Mar 2024.
