Background
Current treatment for PDR is panretinal
photocoagulation (PRP)
• Inherently destructive
• Adverse effects on visual function
Some eyes with PDR+DME now receive
anti-VEGF as standard care for DME
Would initial treatment of PDR with
intravitreal anti-VEGF delay or prevent
need for PRP?
2
Study Objective and
Treatment Groups
To determine if visual acuity outcomes at 2 years in
eyes with PDR (with or without concurrent DME) that
receive anti-VEGF therapy with deferred PRP are noninferior to those in eyes that receive prompt PRP
therapy.
(Note: Study ranibizumab may be given as needed for
DME using Protocol I retreatment as guidelines.)
Prompt PRP
0.5mg
ranibizumab
with deferred
PRP

Important Secondary Objectives
(assuming visual acuity outcomes are non-inferior)
Compare visual function outcomes
(including Humphrey visual field testing
and study participant self-reports of
visual function)
Determine percent of eyes not requiring
PRP when intravitreal anti-VEGF is given
in the absence of prompt PRP
Compare safety outcomes
Perform cost effectiveness analysis
4
Sample Size
 Minimum of 380
eyes
 Subjects may have
one or two study
eyes
 316 participants
assuming 20%
have two study
eyes
5
Major Inclusion Criteria
Age ≥ 18 years
Type 1 or 2 diabetes
PDR for which PRP is planned but in the
investigator’s opinion can be deferred
for at least 4 weeks if an intravitreal antiVEGF injection is given
Visual acuity (Snellen equivalent) 20/320
or better
Note: eyes with or without DME may be
6
enrolled
Major Exclusion Criteria
 Systemic
• Significant renal disease
• BP > 180/110
• Cardiac event or stroke within 4 months
 Study eye
•
•
•
•
•
Prior PRP
Tractional retinal detachment involving the macula
NV of the angle
History of intravitreal anti-VEGF within past 2 months
History of corticosteriod in the past 4 months
7
Testing Procedures – Undilated
within 14 days of randomization
 Questionnaires (except in participants with two
study eyes)
• NEI-VFQ, UAB-LLQ, WPAI, and TTO
 Humphrey visual field testing (30-2 and 60-4) –
dilation may be needed depending on pupil size
• Required at sites with certified HVF equipment
8
Testing Procedures – Undilated
Day of Randomization
 E-ETDRS best-corrected visual acuity in each
eye
 Binocular E-ETDRS using the participant’s
everyday glasses or contacts
 IOP in the study eye
9
Testing Procedures - Dilated
 OCT of study eye (within 8 days)
 Fundus photographs of study eye (within 21
days)
• If NV is not captured on 7F or 4W, additional fields
should be taken to capture NV
• This is documented on protocol specific form
 Ocular exam in both eyes (day of randomization)
10
PRP Treatment
Prompt PRP group receives 1200 to 1600
burns initiated on day of randomization (or
within 14 days of baseline if injection for
DME given) and completed within 8 weeks.
Anti-VEGF+Deferred PRP may receive PRP
only if failure/futility criteria are met
• Protocol chair approval MUST be obtained
before PRP is given in some cases of
failure/futility
11
Follow-up Schedule
Baseline to
1 Year
• Assessment Visits every 16 weeks in both
groups
• PDR Treatment Visits every 4 weeks
(deferred PRP group only)…interval may
only be extended if PRP is given
1 Year to
3 Years
• Assessment Visits every 16 weeks in both
groups
• PDR Treatment Visit every 4-16w (deferred
PRP group only)…interval is extended if
injections for PDR continually deferred
• Primary outcome visit at 2 years
4 to 5
Years
• Annual visits for data collection only
• Treatment as part of usual care
12
Non-Annual Testing Procedures
 E-ETDRS best-corrected visual acuity in both
eyes
 Ocular exam and IOP in the study eye (extended
ophthalmoscopy in deferred PRP group)
 OCT only if eye
• 1) has initiated DME treatment,
• 2) will be evaluated for initial DME treatment, or
• 3)10 letter unexplained loss since last visit.
 Fundus photography only if PRP will be initiated
in an eye assigned to IVR+deferred PRP
 WPAI questionnaire at 16-week interval visits
13
(except in OU participants)
Annual Testing Procedures
 Binocular E-ETDRS using the participant’s
everyday glasses or contacts
 Questionnaires (except in OU participants)
• NEI-VFQ, UAB-LLQ, WPAI, and TTO
• May be completed at home prior to visit (within 14
days)
 Fundus photography
 Humphrey visual field testing (30-2 and 60-4)
• Required at sites with certified HVF equipment
14
Anti-VEGF Injections
for PDR (Deferred PRP Group)
 Injections every 4 weeks through 12- week visit
• NV status does not matter
• Injection can only be skipped if an adverse event
occurs
 If at anytime the investigator thinks PRP is
needed within 1 week to avoid substantial
vision loss, PRP may be given once protocol
chair approval obtained
15
Injection Retreatment Criteria for PDR
(Deferred PRP Group)
 Starting at the 16-week visit, each eye will be
categorized into one of the following 5 groups:
1. Resolved
 NV of the retina, disc, and iris/angle* is
absent.
 Decision to re-inject is at investigator
discretion. PRP should not be given.
*if angle is examined
16
Injection Retreatment Criteria for PDR
(Deferred PRP Group)
2. Improved
 NV of the retina, disc, or iris/angle* still
persists, but there is evidence of
“improvement” since the last visit.
 “Improvement” defined as a decrease in the
size of NV or diminished density of NV
 An injection is given. PRP should not be
given.
*if angle is examined
17
Injection Retreatment Criteria for PDR
(Deferred PRP Group)
3. Stable
 NV of the retina, disc, and iris/angle* is
clinically unchanged since the last visit.
 Once the eye meets criteria for stability, at
least 2 more injections must be given, each
one month apart. Further reinjection is then
at investigator discretion as long as the eye
remains stable. PRP should not be given.
*if angle is examined
18
Injection Retreatment Criteria for PDR
(Deferred PRP Group)
4. Not fully treated
 Failure/futility criteria not met and recurrent
or worsening NV of the retina, disc, or iris is
present in an eye that has had fewer than 4
injections over the previous 4 months or
there is vitreous or preretinal hemorrhage
precluding assessment.
 An injection is given. PRP should not be
given.
19
Injection Retreatment Criteria for PDR
(Deferred PRP Group)
5. Failure/futility
 One of the following criteria are met:
• NV worse than last visit such that it is greater in
extent than baseline and at least 4 injections
given over previous 4 months
• NV of the angle
• PRP needed within 1 week to avoid substantial
vision loss and protocol chair approval obtained
• Persistent NV after 1.5 years of follow-up despite
anti-VEGF and protocol chair approval obtained
 Decision to re-inject is at investigator
discretion. PRP may be given.
20
Follow-Up Treatment for DME
If DME develops during follow-up,
treatment is at investigator discretion
using study ranibizumab and/or focal/grid
laser with Protocol I retreatment criteria as
guidelines
Additional follow-up visits for DME
retreatment are at the discretion of the
investigator (not part of visit schedule)
