Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adults ≥ 18 years with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus
* Subjects with DME secondary to diabetes mellitus involving the center of the macula in the study eye
* Decrease in vision determined to be primarily the result of DME in the study eye
* BCVA ETDRS letter score of 73 to 24 (20/40 to 20/320) in the study eye

Exclusion Criteria

* Laser photocoagulation (panretinal or macular) in the study eye within 90 days of Day 1
* More than 2 previous macular laser treatments in the study eye
* Previous use of intraocular or periocular corticosteroids in the study eye within 120 days of Day 1
* Previous treatment with antiangiogenic drugs in either eye (pegaptanib sodium, bevacizumab, ranibizumab etc.) within 90 days of Day 1
* Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in the study eye, with the exception of inactive, regressed PDR
* Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, as defined by HbA1c \> 12%
* Only 1 functional eye even if that eye is otherwise eligible for the study
