17 DRCR Network: Protocol V Comparative Effectiveness Study of Laser, Observation and Ranibizumab for DME in Eyes with Very Good Visual Acuity

18 DRCR Protocol V Randomized, multi-center clinical trial At least one eye meeting all of the following criteria: Central-involved DME on OCT (Cirrus/Spectralis only)* VA letter score 20/25 or better* No prior treatment for DME Prompt anti-vegf Prompt laser + deferred anti-vegf Observation + deferred anti-vegf Primary outcome: Proportion of eyes that have lost 5 letters of VA at 2 years 15

19 Case 2: HS 68 y.o. AF CC: severe vision loss, OU PMH: Type 2 DM, HTN, CAD s/ p MI, ESRD on dialysis, cerebrovascular disease s/p stroke Va: 20/800 OD

20 DME: Our Armamentarium Systemic control Laser ETDRS style Subthreshold Anti-VEGF agents Pegaptanib (Macugen) Bevacizumab (Avastin) Ranibizumab (Lucentis) Aflibercept (Eylea) Steroids Triamcinolone Dexamethasone Fluocinolone Vitrectomy with membranectomy

21 DME: Systemic Factors Blood glucose Hypertension Cardiovascular disease Renal function Serum lipids

22 Corticosteroids for DME 3 choices intravitreal Triamcinolone acetonide (Triesence ) off label Dexamethasone (Ozurdex ) Fluocinolone acetonide (Iluvien ) Mechanism of action: Stabilize, reconstitute the inner blood-retinal barrier Downgrade VEGF production

23 Vitrectomy for DME: DRCR Protocol D 87 pts Little change in mean visual acuity between baseline and 6 months 38% improved by > 10 letters 22% worsened by > 10 letters Marked anatomic improvement OCT central subfield thickness mean from 500 μm to 300 μm Presence of ERM and worse baseline visual acuity were associated with greater VA improvement Diffuse DME Va: 20/160 s/p Avas5n and Kenalog Va: 20/100 s/p Vitrectomy Va: 20/63

43 Conclusions Diabetic retinopathy treatments are mostly guided by evidence-bases studies The great disease variability means there are many instances where there is little evidence backing our treatment decisions Anti-VEGF therapy has become the primary therapy for diabetic macular edema Focal laser therapy was frequently used in addition to anti-vegf in the DRCR Protocol T study (37%-56%) Remember systemic factors and drugs such as thiazolidinediones may influence DME

44 Conclusions Anti-VEGF is effective in the treatment of PDR Especially with concomitant center-involved DME Better central and peripheral vision outcomes Weigh the risk of non-compliance when considering repeat injection therapy vs. single session PRP Future studies will further clarify our treatment options Protocol V CI DME With Very Good Visual Acuity Intravitreous Anti-VEGF Treatment for Prevention of Vision Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy in Eyes at High Risk Intravitreous Anti-VEGF vs. Prompt Vitrectomy for Vitreous Hemorrhage from Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Randomized Trial of Intravitreous Aflibercept versus Intravitreous Bevacizumab + Deferred Aflibercept for Treatment of Central- Involved Diabetic Macular Edema
