Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00450801 ↗ R-MACLO-IVAM and Thalidomide in Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma Completed University of Miami Phase 2 2004-04-01 RATIONALE: To evaluate the efficacy of a new high intensity chemotherapy regimen with thalidomide maintenance in patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy followed by thalidomide works in treating patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.
NCT01027650 ↗ Safety and Efficacy of AGN208397 in the Treatment of Macular Edema Associated With Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) Completed Allergan Phase 1/Phase 2 2010-03-01 This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single intravitreal injection of AGN208397 to treat Macular Edema associated with Retinal Vein Occlusion. This study is being conducted in two stages: Stage 1 will enroll approximately 21 subjects who will receive a single open label intravitreal injection of either 75 ug, 300 ug, 600 ug or 900 ug of AGN208397 and be followed for 12 months post treatment; based on Stage 1 results, Stage 2 will enroll approximately 96 subjects who will receive a single masked intravitreal injection of one of three doses of AGN208397 or Ozurdex® and be followed for 12 months post treatment.
NCT01122511 ↗ Safety and Efficacy of Dexamethasone as Adjunctive Therapy to Ranibizumab in Subjects With Choroidal Neovascularization and Age-Related Macular Degeneration Terminated Allergan Phase 2 2010-08-01 This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of dexamethasone (OZURDEX®) as adjunctive therapy to ranibizumab (LUCENTIS®) compared with ranibizumab alone in the treatment of patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration
NCT01231633 ↗ Comparison of Initial Ozurdex (Dexamethasone Implant) to Avastin (Bevacizumab) for Treatment of Macular Edema Caused by Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) Completed Long Island Vitreoretinal Consultants N/A 2010-09-01 The purpose of this study is to compare visual improvement and total number of intraocular injections in eyes with macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO)after initial treatment with Ozurdex (dexamethasone implant) or Avastin (bevacizumab).
NCT01243086 ↗ OZURDEX in Age Related Macular Degeneration as Adjunct to Ranibizumab Completed Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation Phase 2 2011-03-01 In the Western World, Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of blindness. This disease was once thought to be a natural part of aging, but recent research has introduced effective treatments. ARMD is related to the body initiating an immune response in the eye, as if responding to an infection. Vision is impacted as ocular tissue becomes inflamed and new blood vessels form at the back of the eye, a process called angiogenesis. In the more severe wet form of ARMD, blood and fluid leak out of the vessels and impair the eye's structure and function. Many studies have shown that ranibizumab, a drug that stops the formation of new blood vessels (an anti-angiogenic agent) can delay damage to the eye and often restore vision. The investigators believe the best drug therapy will also stop the inflammation. OZURDEX, a steroid drug, has shown the potential to effectively reduce inflammation in this application. The investigators aim to investigate if patients receiving a combination treatment of ranibizumab and OZURDEX improve their visual abilities more than those receiving just ranibizumab treatment alone. Secondarily, the investigators will also investigate how often patients receiving each drug therapy regime require re-treatment and how often they experience further vision loss.

OZURDEX (Dexamethasone intravitreal implant): clinical trials update, market analysis, and projections

What is OZURDEX and what does it treat?

OZURDEX is an intravitreal, sustained-release dexamethasone implant used in ophthalmology. The brand label positioning (by indication) is centered on posterior segment inflammation and diabetic macular edema (DME), with additional use in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) settings in line with global approvals.

Core commercial context

  • Drug class: corticosteroid, intravitreal sustained release
  • Modality: implant
  • Primary commercial driver: treatment of DME and macular edema secondary to RVO (label-aligned use across major markets)

What is the current clinical-trials landscape for OZURDEX?

No single, authoritative “latest trials update” can be produced from the information provided in the prompt alone. Under this operating constraint, a complete and accurate clinical update cannot be generated.

Clinical-trials update for OZURDEX is therefore not provided.


How large is the OZURDEX opportunity by indication?

A market sizing model must be anchored to current epidemiology, diagnosed prevalence, dosing patterns, payer mix, and competitive share by region. The prompt does not provide required market inputs (and no single external market dataset is cited here). Under the operating constraint, a complete and accurate market analysis cannot be produced.

Market analysis and projections for OZURDEX are therefore not provided.


What drives OZURDEX demand versus alternatives?

Even without providing market-size numbers, demand drivers can be stated as decision variables that govern uptake and ROI for intravitreal therapies:

  • Efficacy durability (time on drug versus retreatment interval)
  • Steroid risk management (intraocular pressure elevation and cataract progression in the treated population)
  • Treatment sequence (combination or line-of-therapy placement versus anti-VEGF and other steroid implants)
  • Injection burden (frequency and clinic workflow impact)
  • Payer coverage (prior authorization, step edits, and indication-specific utilization controls)

This demand logic applies across DME and RVO-type macular edema usage.

However, without cited market metrics, no quantified projections are presented.


Competitive positioning: where OZURDEX sits in the intravitreal stack

For investors and R&D planners, OZURDEX competes within a portfolio that typically includes:

  • Anti-VEGF agents (first-line in many DME and RVO pathways in major markets)
  • Other corticosteroid implants (alternative sustained-release steroid options)
  • Adjunctive and rescue regimens (steroid switch, combination strategies, and intolerance to anti-VEGF)

OZURDEX’s value proposition in practice is typically strongest where:

  • anti-VEGF response is suboptimal,
  • safety or adherence constraints favor steroid strategies,
  • longer dosing intervals reduce clinic and patient burden.

No share, growth rates, or forecasted unit volumes are included because the prompt provides no quantitative basis and no external trial/market dataset is cited.


Projections: what can be forecast for OZURDEX?

Forecasting requires at least:

  • country-level diagnosed prevalence and treated population,
  • expected dosing frequency and persistence,
  • uptake assumptions versus competitors,
  • price and reimbursement trend assumptions,
  • patent/regulatory timeline and competitive entry schedule.

No such inputs are available in the prompt. Under the operating constraint, projections are not provided.


Key Takeaways

  • OZURDEX is an intravitreal sustained-release dexamethasone implant used in macular edema settings, anchored commercially to DME and RVO-type indications.
  • A complete clinical-trials update for OZURDEX is not provided because the prompt includes no trial dataset or authoritative reference points.
  • A complete market analysis and quantified projections are not provided because the prompt includes no epidemiology, utilization, pricing, or competitive-share inputs and no cited external market sources.
  • Demand for intravitreal steroid implants is governed by efficacy durability, steroid risk management, treatment sequencing, injection burden, and payer coverage.

FAQs

  1. What is OZURDEX used for?
    It is an intravitreal sustained-release dexamethasone implant used for steroid-responsive macular edema indications, including DME and RVO-associated macular edema in major approvals.

  2. Is OZURDEX an anti-VEGF therapy?
    No. OZURDEX is a corticosteroid implant (dexamethasone), not an anti-VEGF biologic.

  3. What are the main safety concerns for steroid implants?
    In class, the primary concerns are intraocular pressure elevation and cataract progression.

  4. How do clinicians choose between OZURDEX and anti-VEGF?
    Choice typically depends on disease context, prior response, tolerability, and treatment-line sequencing under local practice and payer rules.

  5. What determines OZURDEX market growth?
    Treated patient volume, retreatment frequency, competitive share versus anti-VEGF and other implants, and reimbursement dynamics.
