DAME - Study

Condition:

Diabetic Retinopathy

Official Title:

Treatment of severe Diabetic macular oedema with Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) monotherapy versus treatment with Anti-VEGF followed by subthreshold Micropulse lasEr when the thickness of the central retina goes below 400 microns: a pragmatic randomised equivalence trial

To conduct a pragmatic randomised equivalence trial to assess clinical- and cost-effectiveness, safety, participant experience and acceptability of Subthreshold Micropulse Laser (SML) applied after the Central Retinal Subfield Thickness (CRT) is <400μm following initial anti-VEGF injections, compared to continued anti-VEGF monotherapy, in people who originally presented with severe DMO (CRT ≥400μm). DAME incudes a nested process evaluation to assess post-trial implementation and scalability
