About this study

Official title: Effects of Intravitreal Bevacizumab Intraoperatively in The Prevention of Early Recurrent Vitreous Hemorrhage Post-Vitrectomy in Diabetic Vitreous Hemorrhage

Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy remains a significant complication with reported incidence ranging from 11 to 75%. Early and late recurrences are associated with various factors, including residual blood, fibrovascular tissue, and neovascularization. Despite attempts to reduce this complication with therapies like anti-fibrinolytic agents, gas tamponade, and peripheral cryotherapy, the outcomes remain unsatisfactory.

Read the detailed description

Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy remains a significant challenge with high incidence and negative impact on visual outcomes. Despite various treatments, intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) has shown potential in reducing post-operative vitreous hemorrhage (PO-VH). This study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of intraoperative IVB in preventing PO-VH in patients undergoing vitrectomy for diabetic vitreous hemorrhage. This prospective, randomized controlled trial compared patients receiving intraoperative IVB to a control group. The primary outcome was PO-VH incidence at one month, with secondary outcomes including visual acuity change, time to VH clearance, and safety. Outcome assessors were masked to the study treatment. Data on demographics, medical history, visual acuity, VH grading, intraoperative findings, and postoperative complications will be collected. Statistical analysis compared PO-VH incidence and other outcomes between groups. This study will provide valuable evidence on the efficacy and safety of intraoperative IVB in preventing PO-VH, contributing to improved clinical practice and patient outcomes.

What participants receive

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

  • Bevacizumab Injection [Avastin]Drug

    Also called Pars Plana Vitrectomy

    Intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.05 mL) was injected at the completion of vitrectomy surgery.

  • Pars Plana VitrectomyProcedure or surgery

    routine procedure of pars plana vitrectomy in vitreous hemorrhage for proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients

Study groups in NCT06559488
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Bevacizumab IntravitrealExperimentalTen patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy under local anesthesia. Vitrectomy used 3 23-gauge sclerotomies, triamcinolone for hyaloid cleaning, and hemostasis by elevated pressure, endo-diathermy, or laser. Panretinal laser applied to unlasered retina. Retina examined for tears or bleeding. IOP set at 20mmHg, sclerotomies sutured if needed. Post-vitrectomy, 1.25 mg bevacizumab injected via 30-gauge needle in superotemporal or inferotemporal pars plana.

Vitrectomy used 3 23-gauge sclerotomies, triamcinolone for hyaloid cleaning, and hemostasis by elevated pressure, endo-diathermy, or laser. Panretinal laser applied to unlasered retina.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence and Severity of Vitreal Hemorrhage Post-Operative

    Calculation of incidence of Vitreal Hemorrhage Post Operative based on grading (Grade 0, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4) between two groups; higher grades are related to worse outcomes

    Measured: Day 1, 7, and 30

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post operative visual Acuity, compared between groups

    Visual acuity measured with a Snellen chart was converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis. Snellen visual acuity of finger counting was categorized as log MAR 2.0, and hand motion as log MAR 3.0

    Measured: Day 1, 7, and 30

Model description
A parallel group design was employed. Patients requiring vitrectomy for diabetic non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage (VH) were divided into two groups: Intervention Group: Underwent vitrectomy followed by an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.05 mL). Control Group: Underwent vitrectomy alone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bevacizumab Injection [Avastin] and Pars Plana Vitrectomy in people with Diabetic Retinopathy and Vitreous Hemorrhage, run by Universitas Padjadjaran at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 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 Indonesia. 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. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Incidence and Severity of Vitreal Hemorrhage Post-Operative (time frame: Day 1, 7, and 30). 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 27 Aug 2024.
