Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A Phase 2 Multi center, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked Clinical Trial Designed To Evaluate The Safety And Exploratory Efficacy Of Luminate® (Alg-1001) As Compared To Avastin® In The Treatment Of Diabetic Macular Edema

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Luminate® (ALG-1001) as compared to Avastin® in patients with diabetic macular edema

\- Stage 1: 120 eligible subjects with DME will be enrolled and randomized to one of 4 treatment groups at an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1, i.e., one of three doses (1.0 mg, 2.0 mg and 3.0 mg) of Luminate intravitreal injection or Avastin intravitreal injection. Subjects will be followed monthly for 24 weeks (6 months).

Stage 2 (select sites): 75 eligible subjects with DME will be enrolled and randomized to one of 5 treatment groups at an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1:1; i.e., one of 2 doses of Luminate intravitreal injection or Avastin intravitreal injection (0.5 mg and 1.0 mg). Subjects will be followed monthly for 20 weeks (5 months).

* Other ocular pathologies that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with the subject's vision in the study eye.
* Chronic or recurrent uveitis.
* Ongoing ocular infection or inflammation in either eye.
* A history of cataract surgery complications/vitreous loss in the study eye.
* Congenital eye malformations in the study eye.
* A history of penetrating ocular trauma in the study eye.
