A Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety & Pharmacokinetics of the Port Delivery System (PDS) With Ranibizumab in Participants With Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Compared With Intravitreal Ranibizumab; A Subtudy to Evaluate the Safety of Re-Implanting the PDS With Ranibizumab in Participants With DME

Description

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the PDS with Ranibizumab in participants with DME when treated every 24 weeks (Q24W) compared with intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W). The substudy will evaluate safety of re-implanting the updated PDS with ranibizumab and the refill-exchange procedures following re-implantation in participants with DME who were previously enrolled in the main Study, GR40550. Up to 100 participants from the main study will be enrolled and followed for a maximum of 72 weeks post-re-implantation in the substudy.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Documented diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (Type 1 or Type 2)
  • * HbA1c level of ≤10% within 2 months prior to screening or at screening
  • * Macular thickening secondary to DME involving the center of the fovea with CST ≥325 um on SD-OCT at screening
  • * BCVA score of 78 to 25 letters (20/32 to 20/320 approximate Snellen equivalent)
  • * High-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy
  • * Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above)
