Study Summary

This study seeks to compare dexamethasone implant with rescue intravitreal ranibizumab to monthly intravitreal ranibizumab for the treatment of macular edema secondary to branch or central retinal vein occlusion. This is based on the null hypothesis that dexamethasone implant with rescue ranibizumab has inferior best corrected visual acuity at six months compared to monthly ranibizumab alone.

Eligible Conditions
  • Retinal Vein Occlusion

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Dexamethasone intravitreal implantExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will receive a dexamethasone intravitreal implant injection at day 0. During monthly visits 1,2,3, and 5, patients will receive a ranibizumab intravitreal injection if the macula SD-OCT during that visit shows mean central foveal thickness ≥ 250 μm or the best-corrected visual acuity is 20/40 or worse. The injection procedure is described in the next section. During monthly visit 4, patients will receive a dexamethasone intravitreal implant injection if the macula SD-OCT during that visit shows mean central foveal thickness ≥ 250 μm or the best-corrected visual acuity is 20/40 or worse.
Group II: Monthly RanibizumabActive Control1 Intervention
• Patients will receive a ranibizumab intravitreal injection on day 0. During each other visit, patients will receive a ranibizumab intravitreal injection. The protocol will use the term "monthly" to represent a 30 day interval between treatments.
