Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of suprachoroidal CLS-TA used with intravitreal aflibercept in subjects with DME.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Diabetic Macular Edema	Drug: IVT aflibercept; Drug: Sham SC; Drug: SC CLS-TA	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, controlled, parallel-group study of 6 months duration in treatment-naïve subjects with DME. This study is projected to enroll approximately 60 subjects, randomly assigned 1:1 to one of two treatment groups.

The study design includes up to 8 clinic visits over approximately 24 weeks. Subjects will attend visits for Screening (Visit 1, Days -30 to 0); Randomization and Baseline (Visit 2, Day 0 before dosing); Dosing and Evaluation (Visit 2 after dosing to Visit 5, Day 0 through Week 12); As-needed (PRN) Dosing and Follow up (Visit 6 through Visit 7, Week 16 through Week 20), and End of Study (Visit 8, Week 24).
