EYE-RES-103 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-103 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.

• 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:

• 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
  • Have had an IVT with other anti-VEGF treatments (ranibizumab, bevacizumab, aflibercept [2 mg], pegaptanib sodium) in the study eye within 90 days of the Screening visit
