A Phase 2 study to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of intravitreal injections of AVD-104, a novel glyco-mimetic nanoparticle, in reducing macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy.
The primary objective is to evaluate the tolerability and treatment effect of intravitreal injections (IVT) of AVD-104 in participants with diabetic macular edema (DME). Participants will receive either three intravitreal injections of low-dose AVD-104 (1.0 mg) each 28 days apart or two intravitreal injections of AVD-104 at a high-dose (2.0 mg) 56 days apart. Serial optical coherence tomography (OCT), ultra wide-field fluorescein angiography, and OCT-angiography (OCT-A) will be performed to evaluate the treatment effect on central subfield thickness (CST) and areas of non-perfusion. All participants will be followed-up for safety until day 84. There will be a planned enrollment up to 30 participants.
