Conditions

Macular Edema, Retinal Vein Occlusion

Brief summary

This study will evaluate the relationship between time since onset of macular oedema symptoms and the achievement of vision gain in patients prescribed OZURDEX®. All care and diagnostic procedures provided are at the discretion of the participating physicians according to their clinical judgment and local standard of medical care.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study EyeBaseline, Week 12BCVA is measured in the study eye following each injection of OZURDEX® using the Snellen eye chart. BCVA measurements expressed in Snellen fractions are converted to logMAR units and the approximate Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score is based on the formula: approximate ETDRS letters=85+50 x log10 (Snellen fraction). The converted scores are approximate ETDRS letters to distinguish the scores from visual acuity measurements obtained using the ETDRS chart. One line on the EDTRS equals 5 ETDRS points. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart (lower number on the decimal scale) the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly (higher number on the decimal scale), the better the vision (or visual acuity). A positive number change from baseline in the number of letters read means vision has improved and a negative number change from baseline means vision has worsened.

Mean Change From Baseline in Central Retinal ThicknessBaseline, Week 24Retinal thickness is assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the study eye. The retina is the light-sensitive part of the eye. OCT is a laser-based, noninvasive, diagnostic system providing high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the retina. A negative mean change from baseline indicates an improvement and a positive mean change from baseline indicates a worsening.

The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart (lower number on the decimal scale) the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly (higher number on the decimal scale), the better the vision (or visual acuity). A positive number change from baseline in the number of letters read means vision has improved and a negative number change from baseline means vision has worsened.
