E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Diabetic macular oedema is a swelling in the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye (called the retina) in people with diabetes, caused by leaking of blood vessels. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Part A - to select the THR-687 dose level (1.2mg or 2.0mg) to be further assessed in Part B. Dose level selection will be based on a benefit risk assessment conducted when all subjects completed the Month 3 visit.
Part B - to assess the difference in treatment effect between THR 687 and aflibercept, in terms of the change from Baseline in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at Month 3, in Rx naïve subjects.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To assess the efficacy of multiple IVT injections of THR-687 over-time. - To assess the safety of multiple IVT injections of THR-687 over-time.
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Written informed consent obtained from the subject prior to screening procedures - Male or female aged 18 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent - Type 1 or type 2 diabetes - BCVA ETDRS letter score ≤ 78 (Part A) or ≤ 73 (Part B) and ≥ 39 (both study parts) in the study eye - CI-DME with CST ≥ 300µm in men, or ≥ 285µm in women, measured from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to the internal limiting membrane (ILM) inclusively, on SD-OCT, in the study eye - BCVA ETDRS letter score ≥ 34 in the fellow eye |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Macular oedema due to causes other than DME in the study eye - Concurrent disease in the study eye, other than DME, that could require medical or surgical intervention during the study period or could confound interpretation of the results - Any condition in the study eye that could confound the ability to detect the efficacy of the IMPs - ETDRS severity level ≥ 61 (Part A), or ETDRS severity level ≥65 (Part B), on colour fundus photograph, in the study eye - Presence of iris neovascularisation in the study eye - Previous confounding medications / interventions, or their planned administration during the study - Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye - Previously received THR-687 or any other experimental therapy for DME, in either eye - Any active or suspected ocular or periocular infection, or active intraocular inflammation, in either eye - Untreated diabetes - Glycated haemoglobin A (HbA1c) > 12% - Uncontrolled hypertension |
