EYE-RES-102 is a randomized, double masked pivotal study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 dose levels of EYE103 in comparison with the active control, ranibizumab, in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME)

In the first year, all 3 treatment groups will be treated every 4 weeks with either EYE103 or ranibizumab. Beginning at Year 2, the frequency of treatment for participants will shift based on a personalized treatment interval algorithm.

Approximately 960 participants will be entered in the study.

EYE-RES-102 is a randomized, double masked pivotal study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 dose levels of EYE103 in comparison with the active control, ranibizumab, in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME)

Approximately 960 participants will be entered in the study. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive low dose EYE103, high dose EYE103, or 0.5 mg ranibizumab, administered via intravitreal injection. In the first year, all 3 treatment groups will be treated every 4 weeks with either EYE103 or ranibizumab. Beginning at Year 2, the frequency of treatment for participants will shift based on a personalized treatment interval (PTI) algorithm. Throughout the 2-year study, subjects will be evaluated every 4 weeks, including measurement of Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), examination by slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundoscopy, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Among other parameters, SD-OCT will be used to measure central subfield thickness (CST) in microns.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Be willing and able to understand the study procedures and the risks involved and provide written informed consent before the first study-related activity
• Be male or female ≥18 years of age.
• Have type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus and a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of ≤12%.
• Have a decrease in vision in the study eye determined by the investigator to be primarily the result of diabetic macular edema (DME).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Be pregnant or breastfeeding

• History of cataract surgery and/or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in the study eye within 90 days of Screening

• Have any treatment for complications of cataract surgery with steroids or yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser capsulotomy within 90 days of Screening

• Are currently using drugs with known retinal toxicity (e.g., Hydroxychloroquine, pentosan polysulfate sodium, and amiodarone)

• If treatment-experienced for DME have a history of any of the following treatments within the noted time windows:

  • Have had prior treatment in the study eye with 8 mg aflibercept (EYLEA HD) or faricimab (VABYSMO) within 120 days prior to the Screening visit in the study eye
  • Have had an IVT with other anti-VEGF treatments (ranibizumab, bevacizumab, aflibercept [2 mg], brolucizumab, pegaptanib sodium) in the study eye within 90 days of the Screening visit
