About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether early microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) can improve retinal neovascularization outcomes compared to standard pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) in patients with early proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). It will also evaluate the safety and functional outcomes of early surgical intervention in this population.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does early MIVS increase the proportion of eyes achieving complete regression of retinal neovascularization at 12 months? Does early MIVS improve visual and functional outcomes, including visual acuity and visual field, compared to PRP? Researchers will compare early MIVS combined with peripheral scatter photocoagulation to standard PRP to determine whether early surgical intervention leads to better regression of neovascularization and improved clinical outcomes.
Participants will:
Receive either MIVS with peripheral photocoagulation or standard PRP Undergo retinal imaging assessments including fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) or optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) Complete follow-up visits over 12 months, including visual acuity testing, visual field testing, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging Be monitored for the occurrence of vitreous hemorrhage and other clinical outcomes

Treatments tested in this trial
Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery
Procedure/SurgeryPanretinal photocoagulation delivered using standard laser therapy, consisting of approximately 1000 to 1500 laser burns applied over one or two sessions according to routine clinical practice.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Proportion of Eyes With Complete Regression of Neovascularization
Complete regression is defined as absence of neovascularization at the disc or neovascularization elsewhere in the retina, assessed by fundus fluorescein angiography or optical coherence tomography angiography.
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of Eyes With Partial Regression of Neovascularization
Partial regression is defined as reduction in retinal neovascularization compared with baseline, assessed by fundus fluorescein angiography or optical coherence tomography angiography.
Incidence of Vitreous Hemorrhage
Incidence of vitreous hemorrhage through 6/12 months after treatment.
Change in Visual Field
Change in visual field cumulative values measured using the 60-degree visual field test.
Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity
Change in best corrected visual acuity measured using an ETDRS LogMAR chart.
