Intravitreal Ranibizumab or Aflibercept After Bevacizumab in Diabetic Macular Edema (SWITCH)

Study Description
Brief Summary:

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of switching from bevacizumab to ranibizumab (Lucentis; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) or aflibercept (Eylea; Regeneron, Tarrytown, NY) in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) nonresponders to bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA).

METHODS: Single-center retrospective comparative study of patients with DME unresponsive to intravitreal bevacizumab that were switched to ranibizumab or aflibercept. Best-corrected visual acuity and central foveal thickness will be analysed prior to and 3 months after the switch. OCT biomarkers will also analyzed.

A p value of 0.05 or less will be considered to be statistically significant. HYPOTHESIS: Patients will improve anatomically and functionally after switch.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Anatomical change [ Time Frame: Immediately before switch (one month after last bevacizumab intravitreal injection); 4 months after switch. Minimum of three intravitreal injections before and after switch. ]

    The central foveal thickness (CFT), measured by Optical Coherence Tomography, was automatically measured by the software in the central 1 mm. A CFT <250 µm or >300 µm is considered pathological. A CFT between 200 and 300 µm is considered physiological. CFT has no defined minimum or maximum values.

    Since patients with diabetic macular edema usually have CFT >300 µm the goal of treatment is to lower the CFT to values between 200 and 300 µm. A clinical significant anatomical improvement was considered for a change in CFT≥10%.


  2. Functional change [ Time Frame: Immediately before switch (one month after last bevacizumab intravitreal injection); 4 months after switch. Minimum of three intravitreal injections before and after switch. ]

    Functional change was measure by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Scale (ETDRS) which measures the best-corrected visual acuity with an ETDRS-like chart at 4 meters in number letters or at 1 meter when patients are unable to read any letters on the ETDRS chart at 4 meters. The ETDRS scale varies from 1 to 85 letters (85 letters correspond to a 20/20 in the Snellen scale).

    The higher the value the better the outcome. A clinical significant functional improvement was considered for a gain of ≥5 EDTRS letters.



Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 85 Years   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population
All patients followed on the ocular diabetes consultation of Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto, Portugal, with DME unresponsive or incompletly responsive to intravitreal bevacizumab (1,25 MG/0.05 ML).
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
  • older than 18 years
  • with center-involved DME, defined as central subfield thickness (CST) of more than 300 µm on spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT).
  • nonresponsive to bevacizumab, defined as having persistent intraretinal and/or subretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography (OCT), i.e CSF>300µm after a minimum of 3 monthly injections, 4 months before switch, regardless of visual acuity (VA).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • additional ocular diseases that could significantly affect the visual acuity such as:
  • significant vitreoretinal interface abnormality on SD-OCT that may contribute to macular edema
  • age-related macular degeneration
  • retinal vascular occlusion
  • central corneal opacity
  • amblyopia
  • advanced glaucoma
  • optic neuropathy
  • history of ocular trauma or surgery other than uncomplicated cataract extraction
  • cataract surgery within 3 months before or after bevacizumab switch
  • unable to provide written informed consent.
