About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of the investigational medicinal product ANXV. It will also learn about how ANXV works to treat non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is ANXV safe to use? * Does ANXV improve vision or findings related to vision decrease caused by non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion? * Does ANXV lower the number of times participants need to use a rescue medication? Researchers will compare different dose levels of ANXV to see what dose would be be appropriate to test in larger studies.

Participants will:

Take ANXV as a 30 minutes infusion (slow injection) for 5 days. Visit the clinic for checkups and tests at 11 visits during 4 months.
