About this trial

This is a multi-center, open label study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of KIO-104 administered by IVT injection to the study eye of eligible participants with macular edema.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Be aged 18 to 85 years inclusive at the time of consent.

Provide informed consent prior to any study procedures, as stipulated by local laws, Ethics Committee (EC) and Regulatory Authority (RA) guidelines.

Be willing and able to follow all study instructions, attend all study visits, and complete all study assessments.

Have a clinical diagnosis of ME in the study eye secondary to non-infectious uveitis, retinal vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy or cataract surgery.

Disqualifiers

Have media opacities (cornea, anterior or posterior synechia, cataract, vitreous haze and others) of either eye that preclude investigation and documentation of the posterior pole and intravenous fluorescein angiography, or optical coherence tomography evaluation in the study eye.

Receive local or systemic biologicals (i.e. tumour necrosis factor [TNF]-blockers, B-cell blockers, cytokines, cytokine-blockers, receptor antagonists) 90 days prior to Day 1 or planned during the study.

Receive treatment with cyclophosphamide or chlorambucil during the study.

Receive intravitreal injections (including but not limited to anti-vascular endothelial growth factors) 90 days prior to Day 1 or planned during the study.
