Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main study objective was to compare the treatment efficacy of ranibizumab versus bevacizumab in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Institutional review board/independent ethics committee approval was obtained at both sites and all participants gave written informed consent. The study was conducted in accordance with the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eligible participants had type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, were at least 18 years old, and could enter one or both eligible eyes in the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    56 participants enrolled: 50 participants had one eye randomly assigned (unilateral participants) and 6 participants had two eyes enrolled (bilateral participants) for a total of 62 eyes analyzed at baseline. Bilateral participants had the right eye randomly assigned and the left eye assigned to the group with the schedule inverse to the right eye.

    Blinding implementation details
    Participants were assigned to one of the four treatment sequences using a randomization list generated by the Data and Statistical Coordinating Center prior to study initiation, with balance following every 12 enrollments. The list was provided to unmasked pharmacists at each site who confirmed a valid participant identification code prior to dispensing study treatment. Both clinical sites utilized the same randomized list, but selected treatment assignments from opposite ends.

    Group 1 eyes were assigned to the Ranibizumab-Ranibizumab-Bevacizumab (RRB) treatment sequence and received intravitreal injections of ranibizumab at baseline, Weeks 4, and 8 (period 1), and Weeks 12, 16 and 20 (period 2), then crossed over to receive intravitreal injections of bevacizumab at Weeks 24, 28 and 32 (period 3). Participants for whom one eye was enrolled (unilateral participants) in the study had this eye randomly assigned to one of four groups. Participants for whom both eyes were enrolled (bilateral participants) had the right eye randomly assigned; the left eye was assigned to the group with the schedule inverse to that for the right eye.

    Mean Change in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) From Baseline to 36 Weeks (Crossover Phase of the Study)
    End point description
    The primary outcome for 3-months change in BCVA utilized data from Weeks 12, 24 and 36 aggregated in a linear mixed-effects model. This model included adjustments accounting for period (i.e., Weeks 12, 24 and 36), treatment in current period, treatment in prior period, and baseline BCVA to provide the estimated 3-month BCVA change. A positive change from baseline indicated improvement. Visual acuity was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol. Acuity is measured as letters read on an ETDRS eye chart and the letters read equate to Snellen measurements. For example, if a participant reads between 84 and 88 letters, the equivalent Snellen measurement is 20/20.

    Change in Central Retinal Thickness Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Central Subfield Mean Thickness (CSMT) From Baseline to 36 Weeks (Crossover Phase of the Study)
    End point description
    Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans were graded in masked fashion by Duke University Reading Center (Durham, North Carolina). Per the initial protocol specifications, OCT scans were to be performed on a Cirrus OCT machine; however, some scans were performed on a Spectralis OCT machine at one of the sites due to technical difficulties. The protocol was amended to allow for Cirrus and Spectralis OCT scans at subsequent visits at the affected site. Spectralis values were then converted to Cirrus central subfield mean thickness (CSMT) values through a validated linear conversion function. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
