Brief Summary
A Phase 2 Multi center, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked Clinical Trial Designed To Evaluate The Safety And Exploratory Efficacy Of Luminate® (Alg-1001) As Compared To Avastin® In The Treatment Of Diabetic Macular Edema
Detailed Description
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Luminate® (ALG-1001) as compared to Avastin® in patients with diabetic macular edema - Stage 1: 120 eligible subjects with DME will be enrolled and randomized to one of 4 treatment groups at an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1, i.e., one of three doses (1.0 mg, 2.0 mg and 3.0 mg) of Luminate intravitreal injection or Avastin intravitreal injection. Subjects will be followed monthly for 24 weeks (6 months). Stage 2 (select sites): 75 eligible subjects with DME will be enrolled and randomized to one of 5 treatment groups at an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1:1; i.e., one of 2 doses of Luminate intravitreal injection or Avastin intravitreal injection (0.5 mg and 1.0 mg). Subjects will be followed monthly for 20 weeks (5 months).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male or female, 18 years of age or older.
- •Study eye with clinically significant diabetic macular edema (DME) with central subfield thickness ≥ 350µm on spectral domain OCT
- •Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/50 to 20/320 ETDRS equivalent (65 letters to 23 letters) in the study eye, with BCVA decrement primarily attributable to DME.

- •Screening HgA1c blood test \> 10.0
- •Focal laser photocoagulation or intravitreal/periocular steroids of any type in the study eye within the last 90 days prior to study enrollment.
- •A history of intravitreal anti-VEGF injection of any type in the study eye within the last 45 days prior to study enrollment.
- •History of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, retinal tear(s), or traction retinal detachments in the study eye.
- •Epiretinal membrane and/or vitreomacular traction in the study eye as determined by the central reading center.
- •Previous pars plana vitrectomy in the study eye
- •Any intraocular surgery in the study eye within the last 90 days prior to study enrollment.
- •YAG laser treatment in the study eye in last 30 days prior to study enrollment.
