Purpose To evaluate the additional therapeutic effect of single intravitreal bevacizumab injection on standard laser treatment in the management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Methods A prospective, fellow-eye sham controlled clinical trial was conducted on 80 eyes of 40 high-risk characteristic proliferative diabetic retinopathy type II diabetics. All cases received standard laser treatment according to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study protocol. Avastin-assigned eyes received 1.25 mg intravitreal bevacizumab (Genentech Inc., San Francisco, CA) on the first session of their laser treatments. Fluorescein angiography was performed at baseline and at weeks 6 and 16, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy regression was evaluated in a masked fashion. Results The median age was 52 years (range: 39–68) and 30% of the participants were male. All patients were followed for 16 weeks. A total of 87.5% of Avastin-injected eyes and 25% of sham group showed complete regression at week 6 of follow-up (pp<0.005). However, at week 16, PDR recurred in a sizable number of the Avastin-treated eyes, and the complete regression rate in the two groups became identical (25%; p=1.000); partial regression rates were 70% vs 65%. In the subgroup of Avastin-treated eyes, multivariate analysis identified hemoglobin A1c as the strongest predictor of proliferative diabetic retinopathy recurrence (p=0.033). Conclusions Intravitreal bevacizumab remarkably augmented the short-term response to scatter panretinal laser photocoagulation in high-risk characteristic proliferative diabetic retinopathy but the effect was short-lived, as many of the eyes showed rapid recurrence. Alternative dosing (multiple and/or periodic intravitreal Avastin injections) is recommended for further evaluation.

A clinical study of diabetic retinopathy was conducted from March- May 2002 to diagnose a patient’sdiabetic retinopathy level and identify eyes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy so thatthese patients could get appropriate and timely laser photocoagulation surgery and other surgical modalitiesto reduce the risk of visual loss. This study shows that out of 248 diabetic patients examined, 45.9% patientshad retinal changes. The potential candidates for panretinal and focal laser treatment were the patientswith very severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) (3.5%), early proliferative diabeticretinopathy (PDR) or high-risk PDR (3.5%), and maculopathy (8.8%).Key Words: Diabetic retinopathy, Laser photocoagulation surgery and vitrectomy Surgery.
