Study description

This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study to evaluate the long-term safety profile of OZURDEX® in adult patients diagnosed with macular oedema following CRVO or BRVO or patients with non-infectious posterior segment uveitis, under conditions of routine medical practice in accordance with the product’s Summary of Product Characteristics. The study will target recruitment of 650 patients, 500 with RVO and 150 with non-infectious posterior segment uveitis, with patients receiving >2 implants constituting at least 40% (N≥260) of the study sample. As an observational study, all treatment decisions are at the discretion of the patient’s health care provider and are not defined or mandated by the study design or protocol. Patients will receive OZURDEX® under routine clinical practice, and if they elect to participate in the study (i.e. provide informed consent), they will be followed for two years from study enrollment. The research objectives of this study are as follows: Primary objective: To evaluate the long-term safety of OZURDEX®, including the identified and potential risks as listed in the risk management plan, in patients with macular oedema following RVO or non-infectious posterior segment uveitis who are treated with OZURDEX® under conditions of routine medical practice. Secondary objective: To describe treatment patterns for patients receiving OZURDEX® for the treatment of macular oedema following RVO or non-infectious posterior segment uveitis in real-world clinical practice.
