1. The Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating Intravitreal Ranibizumab or Intravitreal Saline for Vitreous Hemorrhage from Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Supported through a cooperative agreement from the National Eye Institute and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services EY14231, EY14229, EY018817 1

2. Background Vitreous Hemorrhage and Vitrectomy  In at least 5% of cases, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) can lead to vitreous hemorrhage even after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) is initiated which can substantially affect vision and may preclude performing complete PRP.  Current treatment for non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage is vitrectomy Surgical complications Recovery time Some patients may fear surgery 2

3. Background Use of anti-VEGF for vitreous hemorrhage  Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) is a potential alternative to vitrectomy VEGF is shown to be major causative factor in PDR While hemorrhage absorbs, anti-VEGF drug may cause temporary or permanent regression of NVD/NVE, reducing the likelihood of additional hemorrhage until PRP is applied Small case series suggest anti-VEGF causes short-term clearing of vitreous hemorrhage 3

4. Background Use of Saline for vitreous hemorrhage  Unknown if effects seen with anti-VEGF are from fluid injection alone  Prior study found that saline injected eyes were 5 times more likely to have visual improvement at 2 months (26% vs. 6%) and 3 times more likely at 3 months (36% vs. 11%) compared with eyes under observation alone 4

5. Study Objectives  To determine if intravitreal injections of ranibizumab decrease the proportion of eyes in which vitrectomy is performed compared with saline injections in eyes presenting with vitreous hemorrhage from PDR. Note: This trial was not a comparison of anti-VEGF with observation or sham injection; rather the trial was a comparison of intravitreal anti-VEGF with intravitreal saline injection  To assess the efficacy and safety of anti-VEGF therapy as treatment for vitreous hemorrhage due to PDR. 5

6. Study Design, Enrollment, Follow-up  At least one eye that met all of the following criteria:  Vitreous hemorrhage causing vision impairment, presumed to be from PDR, and precluding completion of PRP  Immediate vitrectomy is not required  Visual acuity is light perception or better  No prior anti-VEGF treatment for VH Randomized Multicenter Double-Masked Trial Primary Outcome: Proportion of eyes with vitrectomy by 16 weeks. 6

9. Follow-Up Treatment  Follow-up injections performed at 4 and 8 weeks unless: Vitreous hemorrhage had cleared enough to complete PRP or Vitrectomy had been performed.  All eyes were to be treated with complete PRP as soon as possible. 9

10. Guidelines for Vitrectomy Prior to 8 Week Study Visit  Vitrectomy was not to be performed unless one of the following was present: Traction retinal detachment involving or threatening the macula Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment Angle neovascularization Progressive iris neovascularization Neovascular glaucoma or ghost cell glaucoma resulting in increased IOP that could not be controlled medically 10

11. Guidelines for Vitrectomy 8 to 16 Weeks  Vitrectomy could be performed (but was not required) if there was failure of substantial clearing of vitreous hemorrhage such that the study participant’s need for vitrectomy and its associated benefits outweighed its risks.  Primary outcome time point was at 16 weeks to include cases where decision was made at 12 weeks to perform vitrectomy. 11

12. PRP Treatment  PRP was to be initiated as soon as possible  “Complete” PRP defined as 500 micron size burns on the retina placed no further than 1 to 2 burn widths apart beginning ~3000 µm from macular center and extending to equator for 12 clock hours.  If vitreous hemorrhage cleared and it was determined that “complete” PRP was already given, further treatment was not required. 12

38. Discussion 38

39. Discussion Rationale for Saline Injections  Controls for potential effects of drug vehicle and any physical fluid dynamic effect of an intravitreal injection on VH  Prior study found that saline injected eyes had higher rate of visual acuity improvement than eyes under observation alone  Allowed complete masking of all study staff, which was essential given the subjective primary outcome measure, i.e., undergoing vitrectomy 39

41. Discussion Rates of Vitrectomy  Rate of vitrectomy following intravitreal ranibizumab or saline in DRCR.net trial appears lower than expected with observation 41

42. Conclusions Primary Outcome  Rate of vitrectomy by 16 weeks was not reduced by intravitreal ranibizumab compared with intravitreal saline in eyes with vitreous hemorrhage due to PDR. 42

43. Conclusions Secondary Outcomes  Secondary outcomes such as short-term change in visual acuity, completion of PRP, and frequency of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage suggest faster hemorrhage clearing with intravitreal ranibizumab.  Intravitreal ranibizumab does not appear to increase the risk of retinal detachment 43

44. Other Considerations  Outcomes of intravitreal ranibizumab or saline compared with observation or sham treatment cannot be determined from this study 44
