A Dose Escalation Study of IBI324 in Subjects With Diabetic Macular Edema

A Dose Escalation Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Tolerability and Safety of IBI324 in Subjects With Diabetic Macular Edema(DME)

This study is designed as a Multi-center, open-label, dose escalation phase I trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single and multiple intravitreal injections of IBI324 in subjects with DME

4. Visual impairment was caused by DME involving the macular fovea.
5. Central macular sub-field thickness (CST) ≥320μm according to OCT.
6. BCVA score of 24-73 letters using ETDRS charts (in 4 meters) in the study eye.
7. Female subjects of childbearing age or male subjects with childbearing age female partner agree to take effective contraceptive measures from the screening period to 3 months after the end of treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Concomitant diseases that may cause subjects fail to respond to the treatment or confuse the interpretation of the study results.
