Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate if a combination therapy with micropulse diode laser treatment shows non-inferiority on visual acuity within 12 months in comparison to standard therapy (intravitreal injection of ranibizumab only) as measured by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the influence of a combination therapy of diabetic macular edema with micropulse diode laser and Lucentis® on central macular thickness measured by SD-OCT and To evaluate the influence of a combination therapy of diabetic macular edema with micropulse diode laser and Lucentis® on number of treatments with Lucentis® in comparison to standard therapy (intravitreal injection of ranibizumab only);Primary end point(s): Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: every 4 weeks for a total of 13 month | — |
