Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Mean Change in "Best-corrected Visual Acuity" at Month 12
12 months

Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letters was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like chart while participants were in a sitting position at a testing distance of 4 meters. The range of ETDRS is 0 to 100 letters. A positive average change from baseline of BCVA indicates improvement

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Ranibizumab labeled regime armEXPERIMENTALRanibizumab (Anti VEGF) 0.5mg treatment will be given monthly and will be continued until maximum visual acuity is achieved (the patient's visual acuity is stable for three consecutive monthly assessments performed while on ranibizumab treatment). Thereafter patients should be monitored monthly for visual acuity. Treatment will be resumed when monitoring indicates loss of visual acuity due to DME. Monthly injections should then be administered until stable visual acuity is reached again for three consecutive monthly assessments (implying a minimum of two injections). The interval between two doses should not be shorter than 1 month
Ranibizumab wait and Extend regime armEXPERIMENTALRanibizumab (Anti VEGF) 0.5 mg will be injected subsequently at baseline, month 1 and 2. After the three initial loading doses, patients will be called for the control visits 1 month later. If the visual acuity has reached a stable level and there is no sign of edema on OCT, patients will not receive intravitreal injection and will be called to come back 6 weeks later. The interval is increased by 2 weeks until a maximum of 8 weeks as long as the patient presents as stable regarding visual acuity, central retinal thickness and clinical findings. If there is a negative change, the interval is shortened back to 4 weeks.

Frequently asked questions about Labeled regime arm

What is Labeled regime arm used for?

Labeled regime arm is used for Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), a condition that causes vision loss due to fluid accumulation in the macula. It is being studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial in ophthalmology. The drug is an investigational small molecule developed by Novartis AG for patients with visual impairment due to DME.

Who makes Labeled regime arm?

Labeled regime arm is developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker NVS. The company is conducting clinical research on this investigational treatment for Diabetic Macular Edema in the ophthalmology therapeutic area.

What phase is Labeled regime arm in?

Labeled regime arm is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trial has been completed, and the drug remains under clinical investigation for Diabetic Macular Edema.

What clinical trials is Labeled regime arm in?

Labeled regime arm has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered as NCT02262260. The trial, titled "Compare Safety/Efficacy of Labeled vs Wait-Extend Regimen of Lucentis in Turkish Patients With VI Due to DME," enrolled 87 participants in Turkey. The study was controlled but not double-blinded, and it included adults aged 18 years and older.

Is Labeled regime arm the same as Lucentis?

Labeled regime arm is not the same as Lucentis. The clinical trial NCT02262260 compares a labeled regimen of Lucentis against a wait-and-extend regimen of Lucentis. Labeled regime arm refers to one of the treatment arms in this comparison, not a distinct drug from Lucentis.
