Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to explore the effect of a curcumin formulation in combination to intravitreal dexamethasone therapy in patients with diabetic macular edema on morphological retinal characteristics and retreatment times.

Detailed Description

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

Patients with diagnosis of clinically significant diabetic macular edema, confirmed by fluorangiography and OCT, undergoing to intravitreal dexamethazone injection will be enrolled in the study.

Enrollment will take place according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria set by the protocol.

The enrolled patients will be randomized for the addition or not of the curcumin formulation (2 tablets/die for 6 months) to intravitreal therapy.
