However, the investigator may select the eye with better visual acuity, based on medical reasons or local ethical requirements. |
General 1. El consentimiento informado por escrito se debe obtener antes de realizar cualquier evaluación. 2. Pacientes >= 18 años de edad en la basal. 3. Pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 o tipo 2 y HbA1c <= 10% en la selección. 4. La medicación para el control de la diabetes debe haber sido estable durante los 3 meses previos a la aleatorización y prever que permanezca estable durante el transcurso del estudio. Ojo en studio 5. Alteración visual debida a EMD con: • Puntuación MAVC entre 78 y 23 letras, ambas inclusive, utilizando gráficos de análisis de agudeza visual del ETDRS a una distancia de prueba de 4 metros (equivalente de Snellen aproximado de 20/32 a 20/320), en la selección y a nivel basal. • EMD afectando el centro de la mácula, con grosor del subcampo central de la retina (medida desde EPR a MLI ambos inclusive) de >= 340 μm en OCT-DE en la selección. Si ambos ojos son elegibles, el ojo con peor agudeza visual será seleccionado como ojo en estudio. No obstante, el investigador puede seleccionar el ojo con mejor agudeza visual, basándose en motivos clínicos o requisitos éticos locales. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Previous treatment with any anti-VEGF drugs or investigational drugs in the study eye 2.Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the study eye as per the investigator 3.Concomitant conditions or ocular disorders in the study eye at screening or baseline which could, in the opinion of the investigator, prevent response to study treatment or may confound interpretation of study results, compromise visual acuity or require medical or surgical intervention during the first 12-month study period (e.g., cataract, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal vascular occlusion, retinal detachment, macular hole, or choroidal neovascularization of any cause) 4.Any active intraocular or periocular infection or active intraocular inflammation (e.g., infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, endophthalmitis, infectious blepharitis, uveitis) in study eye at screening or baseline 5.Structural damage of the fovea in the study eye at screening likely to preclude improvement in visual acuity following the resolution of macular edema, including atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, subretinal fibrosis, laser scar(s), epiretinal membrane involving fovea or organized hard exudate plaques 6.Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) > 25 mmHg on medication or according to investigator’s judgment, at screening or baseline 7.Neovascularization of the iris in the study eye at screening or baseline 8.Evidence of vitreomacular traction in the study eye at screening or baseline which, in the opinion of the investigator, affect visual acuity |
1. Tratamiento previo con cualquier fármaco anti-VEGF o fármaco en investigación en el ojo en estudio. 2. Retinopatía diabética proliferativa activa en el ojo en estudio según el investigador. 3. Condiciones concomitantes o alteraciones oculares en el ojo en estudio en la selección o a nivel basal que podría, a criterio del investigador, impedir la respuesta al tratamiento del estudio o podría confundir la interpretación de los resultados del estudio, comprometer la agudeza visual o precisar intervención médica o quirúrgica durante el primer periodo de 12 meses del estudio (p.ej., cataratas, hemorragia vítrea, oclusión vascular retinal, desprendimiento de la retina, agujero macular, o neovascularización coroidea por cualquier causa). 4.Cualquier infección intraocular o periocular activa o inflamación intraocular activa (p.ej., conjuntivitis infecciosa, queratitis, escleritis, endoftalmitis, blefaritis infecciosa, uveítis) en el ojo en estudio en la selección o a nivel basal. 5.Daño estructural de la fóvea en el ojo en estudio en la selección que es probable que impida la mejoría en la agudeza visual tras la resolución del edema macular, incluyendo atrofia del epitelio pigmentario retiniano, fibrosis subretiniana, cicatrices del láser, membrana epirretiniana que afecta la fóvea o placas de exudados duros organizadas. 6.Glaucoma no controlado en el ojo en estudio definido como presión intraocular (PIO) > 25 mmHg con la medicación o a juicio del investigador, en la selección o a nivel basal. 7.Neovascularización del iris en el ojo en estudio en la selección o la basal. 8.
