Suprachoroidal Triamcinolone in Macular Edema for Patients With Non-Infectious Uveitis Resistant to Subtenon Triamcinolon
Iraq20 participantsStarted 2024-09-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this study is to learn if a suprachoroidal triamcinolone injection can treat vision-threatening swelling in the center of the retina (macular edema) caused by non-infectious uveitis, especially in people who did not improve after a standard steroid injection around the eye (sub-Tenon injection).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does vision improve on the eye chart after the injection?
Does the injection lower retinal swelling (reduction in thickness) within 3 months?
Participants will:
Have a pre-treatment check (vision test, slit-lamp exam, and a retinal scan called OCT).
Receive one suprachoroidal triamcinolone injection under anesthetics drops in a sterile setting (operating room) with standard monitoring.
Return for visits about 1 month and 3 months after treatment for repeat vision tests, and OCT scans.
Contact the clinic if they notice pain, redness, new floaters, or worsening vision.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
