入选标准

- •At least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of screening.
- •Have been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- •Have DME involving the center of the fovea with central subfield thickness (CST) in the study eye at the screening visit, confirmed by the CRC, of at least 320 µm on SD OCT (measurement from the Retinal Pigment Epithelium, RPE, to the Inner Limiting Membrane, ILM, inclusively).
- •Have BCVA in the study eye between 34 and 78 letters ETDRS (approximate Snellen acuity of 20/200-20/32) at the screening visit. For eligibility assessments, only the ETDRS BCVA letter score is considered relevant.
- •For women who are not postmenopausal (i.e., at least 12 months of non-therapy-induced amenorrhea or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus)) agreement to remain abstinent or use combined contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of less than 1% per year from the treatment visit (Visit 2, Day 0) until the end of trial participation, or, if subjects discontinue trial participation prior to Week 52 completion, for at least 52 weeks from the treatment visit (Visit 2, Day 0). Examples of contraceptive methods with an expected failure rate of less than 1% per year include male sterilization, hormonal implants, proper use of combined oral or injected hormonal contraceptives, and certain intrauterine devices. Alternatively, two methods (e.g., two barrier methods such as a condom and a cervical cap) may be combined to achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year. Barrier methods must always be supplemented with the use of a spermicide.
- •Males must agree to use a barrier method of contraception starting from the treatment visit (Visit 2, Day 0) until the end of trial participation, or, if subjects discontinue trial participation prior to Week 52 completion, for at least 52 weeks from the treatment visit (Visit 2, Day 0).
- •Subject must be willing not to participate in any other clinical trial including an investigational medicinal product (IMP) or an investigational device until the end of trial participation.
排除标准
