Brief Summary

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

This Phase 3 study will evaluate the efficacy, durability, and safety of KSI-301 compared to aflibercept in participants with treatment-naïve DME.

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 3, prospective, randomized, double-masked, two-arm, multi-center non-inferiority study evaluating the efficacy and safety of repeated intravitreal dosing of KSI-301 5 mg in participants with treatment-naïve DME.

The primary endpoint will be assessed at Year 1; additional secondary endpoints for efficacy will be assessed at Years 1 and 2.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomized 1:1 into one of two treatment arms: KSI-301 or aflibercept.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Caregivers Outcome Assessors
For masking purposes, sham injections will be administered at every monthly visit if an active treatment is not administered. To preserve masking, two investigators are required for this study. The masked Investigator will be responsible for the examinations and safety assessments. The unmasked Investigator will perform the injections and post-treatment assessments.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

KSI-301 (Arm A)

Intravitreal injection of KSI-301 (5 mg) once every 4 weeks for 3 monthly doses followed by an individualized dosing regimen (every 8 to 24 weeks) via intravitreal injection from Week 16 to Week 100.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

KSI-301

Intervention Type DRUG

Intravitreal Injection

Sham Procedure

Intervention Type OTHER

The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal injection. It involves pressing the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) against the anesthetized eye. It will be administered to participants in both treatments arms at applicable visits to maintain masking.

Aflibercept (Arm B)

Intravitreal injection of aflibercept (2 mg) once every 4 weeks for 5 monthly doses followed by aflibercept (2 mg) once every 8 weeks via intravitreal injection from Week 24 to 100.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1. Signed informed consent prior to participation in the study.
2. Treatment-naïve diabetic macular edema, with vision loss and center involvement (if present) diagnosed within 9 months of screening.
3. BCVA ETDRS letter score between 78 and 25 (-20/25 to 20/320 Snellen equivalent), inclusive, in the Study Eye.
4. CST of ≥ 320 microns on SD-OCT (Heidelberg Spectralis or equivalent on other OCT instruments) as determined by the Reading Center.
5. Decrease in vision determined by the Investigator to be primarily the result of DME.
6. Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus and a HbA1c of ≤12%.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Macular edema in the Study Eye considered to be secondary to a cause other than DME.
2. Active iris or angle neovascularization or neovascular glaucoma in the Study Eye.
3. High-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy characteristics in the Study Eye.
4. History of Pan-retinal Photocoagulation (PRP) laser in the Study Eye within 3 months of screening.
5. Tractional retinal detachment in the Study Eye.
6. Active retinal disease other than the condition under investigation in the Study Eye.
7. Any history or evidence of a concurrent ocular condition present, that in the opinion of the Investigator could require either medical or surgical intervention or affect macular edema or alter visual acuity during the study (e.g., vitreomacular traction, epiretinal membrane).
8. Active or suspected ocular or periocular infection or inflammation in either eye at Day 1.
9. Any prior use of an approved or investigational treatment for DME in the Study Eye (e.g., anti-VEGF, intraocular or periocular steroids, macular laser photocoagulation).
10. Women who are pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant during the study.
11. Uncontrolled blood pressure defined as a systolic value ≥ 180 mmHg or diastolic value ≥100 mmHg while at rest.
12. Recent history (within the 6 months prior to screening) of myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack, acute congestive heart failure or any acute coronary event.
13. History of a medical condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would preclude scheduled study visits, completion of the study, or a safe administration of investigational product.
