Sponsored by the National Eye Institute, A Randomized Trial Comparing Intravitreal Triamcinolone to Focal/Grid Photocoagulation for Diabetic Macular Edema Sponsored by the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Intravitreal Triamcinolone for DME 2001-2002: potential benefit first reported1,2 Short term improvement in visual acuity Rapid decrease in retinal thickening on OCT 2005: 91% of retina specialists surveyed (N=371) would use IVT for persistent DME3 Community equipoise present: Randomized, controlled comparison with standard care (focal/grid photocoagulation) needed 1- Jonas JB, et al. Am J Ophthalmol 2001;132:425-7 2- Martidis A, et al. Ophthalmology 2002;109:920-7 3- American Society of Retina Specialists Preferences and Trends Survey 2005

DRCR.net Study Design Multicenter, randomized clinical trial Three treatment groups Focal/grid laser 1 mg IVT 4 mg IVT Duration of follow-up: 3 years Follow-up visits and re-treatment as often as every 4 months

Primary Study Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of preservative-free IVT (1 mg or 4 mg) with focal/grid laser

Efficacy Outcomes Primary outcome assessment at 2 years Primary outcome measure: visual acuity Scientific objective: mean change in VA Regulatory objective for FDA: proportion with decrease in VA letter score >15 Secondary measure: Retinal thickening on OCT

Major Eligibility Criteria At least 18 years old Type 1 or type 2 diabetes Center-involved DME confirmed on OCT (central subfield thickness >250 microns) Best-corrected VA letter score 73 to 24 (Snellen equivalent 20/40 to 20/320)

Results

Study Enrollment and Completion 840 eyes (693 subjects) enrolled at 88 clinical sites (2004-2006) Treatment Groups Laser: N = 330 1 mg: N = 256 4 mg: N = 254 2-year visit completion rate 88% excluding deaths

Major Ocular Adverse Events During 2 Years of Follow-up Laser N=330 1 mg N=256 4 mg N=254 Endophthalmitis* Pseudoendophthalmitis Retinal detachment† 2 3 Retinal vein occlusion† 1 Retinal artery occlusion† Glaucoma procedure 4 Vitrectomy‡ 31 26 19 * 1 case of endophthalmitis occurred after vitrectomy, not related to study drug injection † Judged not necessarily related to treatment ‡ Includes vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema, vitreous hemorrhage or other cause

Intraocular Pressure During 3 Years of Follow-up* Laser N=115 1 mg N=93 4 mg N=98 Increase >10 mmHg any time 3% 17% 31% Mean IOP at 3 yr visit (mmHg) 16 17 IOP >21 mmHg at 3 yr visit 5% 15% 10% On IOP-lowering meds at 3 yr visit 8% 12% 30% * Among completers of the 3 year visit 18 18

Conclusion VA benefit in 4 mg IVT group at 4 months consistent with published case series However, no difference in VA between IVT groups and laser group by 1 year By 2 years, there was a greater VA benefit and fewer side effects (IOP and cataract) in laser group compared with the IVT groups 3 year results similar to the 2 year results OCT results mirrored VA results

Conclusion Results re-affirm importance of laser in management of DME Focal/grid currently most effective treatment for patients with DME (with characteristics similar to those enrolled in this trial) Focal/grid currently benchmark against which other new treatments for DME should be compared in clinical trials for DME
