What this trial studies

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of two doses of EYE103 compared to ranibizumab in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Approximately 960 participants will be randomized to receive either low dose EYE103, high dose EYE103, or 0.5 mg ranibizumab via intravitreal injection. Treatment will occur every 4 weeks for the first year, with adjustments in frequency based on a personalized treatment interval algorithm starting in Year 2. Participants will undergo regular evaluations, including vision assessments and imaging to measure retinal thickness.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and vision loss primarily due to DME.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have recent eye surgeries or treatments that could interfere with the study will not benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with diabetic macular edema, potentially improving vision outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar approaches in treating diabetic macular edema, indicating potential for this study's success.
