Overview
The dexamethasone intravitreal implant (OZURDEX) delivers dexamethasone gradually to the retina over time. It is an approved drug for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). This study will assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of OZURDEX in adult participants with DME in the routine clinical setting in China.
Approximately 110 participants who are prescribed OZURDEX by their physicians will be enrolled in multiple medical institutions in China where OZURDEX is used for DME in routine clinical practice.
Participants will be followed for 24 months after the first administration of OZURDEX according to the routine clinical practice of the prescribing centers. A subsequent 30-day follow-up after the last dose will be performed to obtain information on any new or ongoing safety events and concomitant medications.
No additional burden for participants in this trial is expected.
