Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are diabetic patients with diabetic macular edema or neovascular age-related macular degeneration who are already on nephroprotective medications.

Probably not a fit

Patients with end-stage renal disease, those who are pregnant, or those with other retinal disorders may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how the intravitreal injection of Faricimab, an anti-VEGF drug, affects the renal function of diabetic patients. It will enroll 60 participants, with half receiving Faricimab and the other half receiving Aflibercept. Key assessments will include laboratory tests for renal function and glycemic control, as well as visual acuity and retinal imaging at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. The goal is to determine if Faricimab has a different impact on kidney function compared to traditional treatments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into safer treatment options for diabetic patients with renal function concerns.

How similar studies have gone: While previous studies have explored the effects of anti-VEGF agents on renal function, the specific impact of Faricimab remains untested, making this a novel investigation.
