Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients with DME.
- Center-involved DME with central subfield thickness (CST) ≥350 μm on SD-OCT.
- BCVA in the study eye (most affected) of 35 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters or worse of 6 months duration or longer prior to screening.
- Patients who have the capacity to give informed consent and who are willing and able to comply with all study-related procedures and assessments.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any ocular/intraocular/periocular infection or inflammation in either eye.
- History of vitreous hemorrhage in the study eye within 2 months prior to screening.
- Any retinovascular disease or retinal degeneration other than DME in the study eye.
- History of systemic and intraocular steroid use for 6 months prior to Day 1. The use of intravitreal nonbiodegradable steroid implants (ex. Iluvien®, Yutiq®, Retisert®) is prohibited.
- Significant media opacities, including cataract, which might interfere with VA, assessment of toxicity, or fundus imaging.
- Any uncontrolled medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study.
