摘要
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL), as detected on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, as a biomarker for diabetic macular edema (DME) activity, visual function, and prognosis in eyes with DME. DESIGN:Longitudinal prospective. METHODS:Post hoc correlation analyses were performed on data from a phase 2 clinical trial. Seventy-one eyes of 71 patients with treatment-naive DME received either suprachoroidally administered CLS-TA (proprietary formulation of a triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) combined with intravitreal aflibercept or intravitreal aflibercept with a sham suprachoroidal injection procedure. DRIL area, maximum horizontal extent of DRIL, ellipsoid zone (EZ) integrity, and the presence and location of subretinal (SRF) and intraretinal fluid (IRF) were evaluated at baseline and week 24 by certified reading centre graders. RESULTS:At baseline, the area and maximum horizontal extent of DRIL were negatively correlated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA; r = -0.25, p = 0.05 and r = -0.32, p =0.01, respectively). Mean baseline BCVA progressively worsened with each ordinal drop in EZ integrity, improved with the presence of SRF, and was invariant to the presence of IRF. DRIL area and maximum extent were significantly decreased at week 24 (-3.0 mm2 [p < 0.001] and -775.8 mm [p < 0.001], respectively. At week 24, decreases in the area and maximum horizontal extent of DRIL were positively correlated with increases in BCVA (r = -0.40, p = 0.003 and r = -0.30, p = 0.04). Improvements in BCVA at week 24 were no different between patients showing improvement in EZ, SRF, or IRF and those showing no improvement or worsening from baseline. CONCLUSIONS:DRIL area and DRIL maximum horizontal extent were demonstrated to be novel biomarkers for macular edema status, visual function, and prognosis in eyes with treatment-naive DME.
