Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination and comparison of macular thickness changes in IVB and IVB/IVT injections Determining and comparing changes in visual acuity in IVB and IVB/IVT injections
Design
Clinical trialClinical trial with two intervention groups, double-blind, randomized with STATA software
Settings and conduct
Eye examinations including BCVA, Goldman tonometry, indirect dilation ophthalmoscopy, lens opacity grading, diabetic retinopathy grading based on ETDRS will be performed. Group I, 0.05 mL (1.25 mg) bevacizumab injection 3 doses per month. In the second intervention group, 0.025 mL (1 mg) of laboratory triamcinolone acetone will be added to the first IVB injection with an aspartate syringe. Patients will be examined on days 1 and 7 after the operation in terms of anterior chamber reaction and intraocular pressure measurement. Ophthalmological examination and OCT will be done again in 4, 8 and 12 weeks.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with clinically significant DME based on ETDRS criteria and central thickness greater than 500 microns. Exit criteria History of previous DME treatment (focal or panretinal laser coagulation or IVB or IVT), eye surgery, glaucoma or ocular hypertension, monocular vision, pregnancy, Significant media opacity, CMT<500, The patient's absence in follow-up in the following weeks
Intervention groups
In the first intervention group, 0.05 ml (1.25 mg) of bevacizumab will be randomly injected invitro 3 times a month. In the second intervention group, 0.025 ml (1 mg) of in vitro triamcinoloneacetone will be added to the first IVB injection with a separate syringe.
Main outcome variables
The primary outcome will be change in BCVA based on logMAR at week 12 relative to baseline,the secondary outcome will include a change in CMT at weeks 4, 8,12.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: In the first intervention group, bevacizumab 0.05 ml (1.25 mg) 3 doses will be randomly injected monthly (Avastin; Genen-tech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA (made for F. Hoffmann) -La Roche, Ltd., Basel, Switzerland)-off label drug), in both groups, the injection is done in one eye (the eye with a macular thickness of more than 500 microns). All injections will be performed by a surgeon. The injection is performed after local anesthesia with the help of a 29-gauge needle. Randomization of the eyes is done by the block randomization method and with the help of STATA software. The patient and the surgeon are not aware of the type of injected drug and the drug will be drawn by the prestel in the operating room. (double blinded) All patients will be examined on the 1st and 7th day after the procedure for interior chamber reaction and intraocular pressure measurement. Full ophthalmological examination and OCT will be done again in 4, 8 and 12 weeks.

Description
Intervention group: In the second intervention group, intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide 0.025 ml (1 mg) ((Holzkirchen, Germany) - off label drug) will be added to the first IVB injection with a separate syringe. In both groups, the injection is done in one eye (the eye with macular thickness above 500 microns). All injections will be performed by a surgeon. The injection is performed after local anesthesia with the help of a 29-gauge needle. Randomization of the eyes is done by the block randomization method and with the help of STATA software. The patient and the surgeon are not aware of the type of injected drug and the drug will be drawn by the prestel in the operating room.
