About this trial

A Phase 1 study to assess the safety and efficacy of OCU200 for center-involved diabetic macular edema

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Decreased visual acuity attributable primarily to DME

≥ 320 but ≤ 450µm if male or ≥ 305 but ≤ 435µm if female on Heidelberg Spectralis

≥ 305 but ≤ 435µm if male or ≥ 290 but ≤ 420µm if female on Zeiss Cirrus

Disqualifiers

Presence of any condition that prevent clear visualization of retina (e.g., significant cataract, vitreous hemorrhage)

Uncontrolled hypertension

Uncontrolled glaucoma

Concurrent disease in the study eye, other than central-involved DME

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Study Drug-related adverse events (SDAE)

Counts, frequencies and percentages of SDAEs.

Time frame
24 weeks
2

Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

Counts, frequencies and percentages TEAEs.

Time frame
24 weeks
3

Serious adverse events (SAEs)

Counts, frequencies and percentages of SAEs.

Time frame
24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA)

Measured as the ETDRS letter score on the EVA tester or E-ETDRS charts.

Time frame
24 Weeks (Changes from baseline)
2

Intraocular pressure (IOP)

IOP measurement by applanation or rebound tonometry.

Time frame
24 weeks(Changes from baseline)
3

Color fundus photography

Color fundus photographs will be taken to evaluate retinal anatomy and grade diabetic retinopathy severity scale (DRSS).

Time frame
24 Weeks(Changes from baseline)
4

Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT)

SD-OCT will be utilized to assess retinal thickness. OCT images and scans will be transmitted to a central reading center for independent analysis.

Time frame
24 Weeks(Changes from baseline)

Other outcomes

1

Improvement of diabetic retinopathy severity scale (DRSS)

Proportion of participants with ≥ 2-step improvement of diabetic retinopathy severity scale (DRSS)

Time frame
24 weeks
2

Change from baseline in BCVA letters.

Dose response as assessed by mean change from baseline in BCVA letters and mean number of injections by study visit

Time frame
24 weeks
3

Reduction of CST

The proportion of participants having a ≥ 10% reduction of CST at Week 13 and Week 19

Time frame
24 Weeks
