Study Details

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate safety and to compare the efficacy of intravitreous injection of ranibizumab alone (0.5 mg), versus combination of intravitreous injection of ranibizumab (0.5 mg) plus panretinal photocoagulation, versus panretinal photocoagulation alone in the regression of retinal neovascularization in eyes with high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP)
    Group 1: Panretinal photocoagulation treatment (PRP) at month-0 that can be repeated after month-3.
  • Experimental: Ranibizumab
    Group 2: Intravitreous injections of ranibizumab every 4 weeks at month-0, month-1 and month-2 that can be repeated after month-3.
  • Experimental: Ranibizumab + Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP)
    Group 3: Combination treatment of ranibizumab intravitreous injections plus PRP (2 weeks +/- 1 week after injection), at month-0, month-1 and month-2 that can be repeated after month-3.
