| Abstract | PURPOSE: To characterize the levels of active ocriplasmin over a period of ascending time points (range, 5 minutes to 7 days) from intravitreal injection of a 125-µg dose to sampling. METHODS: During this 7-week controlled, open-label, phase 2 study, a single intravitreal (125 µg) dose of ocriplasmin was injected into the midvitreous of one eye of each of 34 patients prior to their scheduled primary pars plana vitrectomy. Patients were allocated to vitreous sampling at the beginning of the surgery, which occurred 5 to 30 minutes, 31 to 60 minutes, 2 to 4 hours, 24 ± 2 hours, or 7 ± 1 days after ocriplasmin injection, or to the control group, who received no ocriplasmin injection. RESULTS: With increasing time from ocriplasmin injection to vitreous sampling, mean active ocriplasmin concentration decreased. While at 5 to 30 minutes postinjection, mean active ocriplasmin concentration was 11,597.7 ng/mL, within 31 to 60 minutes from injection the mean active ocriplasmin concentration had reduced to 8108.7 ng/mL; and by 24 hours after injection, half of the patients (2/4) had active ocriplasmin concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLQ; <272.4 ng/mL), as did all samples from the day 7 and control groups. No ocular serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in patients who received ocriplasmin, while three ocular SAEs occurred in the study eye of one patient in the control group (1/38; 2.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Active ocriplasmin concentrations in vitreous samples decreased with increasing time from injection to sample, with enzyme levels in all of the patients in the day 7 group being comparable to those in the control group.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
