Aflibercept Plus Micropulse Laser Versus Aflibercept Monotherapy for Diabetic Macular Edema

Study Description
Brief Summary:

Purpose: To evaluate the role of adjuvent micropulse laser with Aflibercept injections in the management of treatment naïve centre involving DME, looking at decreased treatment burden and increased efficacy as outcomes.

Methods: This was a prospective, single centre, randomized trial that included 40 eyes (40 patients) with previously untreated centre involved DME. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Aflibercept plus micropulse laser (group A) or Aflibercept monotherapy (group B).


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetic Macular Edema Device: micropulse laser Drug: Aflibercept Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Patients were randomly distributed in a 1:1 ratio between the two studied groups. Group A received 3 monthly injections of Aflibercept 2 mg/0.05 mL (Eylea; Bayer, Berlin, Germany) as a loading dose, followed one month later by one 577 nm yellow micropulse laser session with monthly PRN Aflibercept injections. Group B received 3 monthly injections of Aflibercept 2 mg/0.05 mL as a loading dose, followed by monthly PRN Aflibercept injections. Patients in both groups were assessed one month after the end of loading phase; At this point, group A received the micropulse laser session and started PRN Aflibercept injections, while group B started PRN Aflibercept injections without receiving the micropulse laser session. After that, both groups were followed for 12 months.

Actual Study Completion Date : December 1, 2018
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Aflibercept plus micropulse laser (group A)
Overall 40 patients were included in the study; they were randomized into either group A (Aflibercept + Micropulse; 20 patients) or group B (Aflibercept monotherapy; 20 patients).
Device: micropulse laser

Micropulse session details:

Mainster focal grid contact lens (×1.05 laser magnification) was used to perform laser. The 577-nm yellow laser (OcuLight SLx, Iridex Corp., Mountain View, California, USA) was used. Fixed treatment parameters were used in all cases: 200-μm spot size, 200-ms exposure duration, 400-mW power, and a 5% duty cycle. Confluent applications with no spacing were administered using 5x5 grid pattern over the entire edematous area including the fovea.
