PAVILION Trial Summary

This trial is studying the effects of ranibizumab given through the Port Delivery System in people with diabetic retinopathy without center-involved diabetic macular edema.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with diabetic retinopathy but no macular edema can join. They must have a certain level of retina damage and controlled diabetes (HbA1c ≤12%). Excluded are those with prior eye treatments like corticosteroids or anti-VEGF, recent heart issues, uncontrolled glaucoma, infections, or conditions needing future eye surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new way to deliver Ranibizumab for diabetic retinopathy using a Port Delivery System (PDS) implant compared to regular injections into the eye. It aims to see if PDS is as effective and safe as standard treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include eye irritation or infection, increased eye pressure, bleeding inside the eye, cataracts formation, and allergic reactions. There may also be systemic effects due to medication absorption.

PAVILION Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: PDS ArmExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants randomized to the PDS arm will receive two intravitreal ranibizumab injections and will then have the PDS implant (pre-filled with ranibizumab) surgically inserted. PDS implant refill-exchange procedures will be performed on a fixed interval every 36-weeks (Q36W) thereafter
Group II: Comparator ArmExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants randomized to the comparator arm will undergo study visits every 4 weeks (Q4W) for comprehensive clinical monitoring until they receive the PDS implant (pre-filled with ranibizumab). PDS implant refill-exchange procedures will be performed on a fixed interval Q36W thereafter. Participants will be eligible to receive intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5 mg injections if treatment eligibility criteria are met.

Answered by AI

Are there a lot of facilities participating in this clinical research within the state?

"Currently, there are 77 clinical trial sites enrolling patients for this study. While the locations of Oak Forest, Grand Rapids and Baltimore are medical centres participating in the trial, there are many other convenient locations too. If you are thinking of participating in the trial, it would be helpful to select a site that is close to reduce travel time and costs."

Answered by AI

Are there other examples of PDS Implant Pre-Filled with 100 mg/mL Ranibizumab being used in clinical trials?

"The PDS Implant Pre-Filled with 100 mg/mL Ranibizumab was first used in a clinical setting in 2008 at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Retinology and Biomicroscopic Lasersurgery. As of now, 310 trials have been completed while 33 are ongoing. The majority of these active trials are based in Oak Forest, Illinois."

Answered by AI

How many patients can be enrolled in this clinical trial at one time?

"This study is no longer active. If you're looking for other clinical trials, there are currently 119 studies actively looking for patients with diabetic retinopathy and 33 studies for PDS Implant Pre-Filled with 100 mg/mL Ranibizumab."
