A Study to Evaluate an Updated Dexamethasone Intravitreal (Into the Eye) Applicator in Adult Participants With Macular Edema Due to Diseases of the Retina

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-01-12

Summary

The Dexamethasone Posterior Segment Drug Delivery System (DEX PS DDS) Applicator is used to deliver an implant with medicine to the eye. AbbVie is updating the DEX PS DDS Applicator. This purpose of this study is to show that the updated DEX PS DDS Applicator works in adult participants with macular edema due to retinal diseases.

The DEX PS DDS is approved for the treatment of macular edema. Participants will be placed into 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Around 54 adult participants with macular edema will be enrolled in the study in approximately 7-10 sites in the United States.

Participants will receive a single intravitreal (into the eye) administration of DEX PS DDS implant using either the currently-approved DEX PS DDS Applicator or the the updated Applicator. The participants will be observed for a duration of 7 days, with the DEX PS DDS implant received on day 1 and follow-up through day 7.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. The updates being evaluated in this study are related to the DEX PS DDS Applicator only, with the safety and efficacy of the DEX PS DDS implant well characterized and the same as the currently marketed product. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by questionnaires, medical assessments, and checking for side effects.
