Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, RO7200220, to see if it's more effective than ranibizumab alone in treating diabetic macular edema. The study will last 76 weeks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who have decreased vision due to diabetic macular edema (DME) affecting the center of their retina. Women must use effective contraception and not be pregnant. Participants should not have other eye diseases, uncontrolled blood pressure, certain prior treatments like laser therapy or specific drugs, and no recent corticosteroid treatment in the study eye.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares a new treatment combining Vamikibart with Ranibizumab against using only Ranibizumab for DME. It's randomized and double-masked, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets which treatment. The trial will last about 76 weeks and includes tests on how safe it is and how it affects the body.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site in the eye, increased risk of eye infection or inflammation, possible changes in intraocular pressure, as well as general side effects such as headache or nausea related to systemic absorption.

Answered by AI

What indications are being addressed through the utilization of RO7200220?

"RO7200220 is a typical remedy for branch vein occlusion and may be prescribed to treat wet age-related macular degeneration, macular edema, or myopic choroidal neovascularization."

Answered by AI

To what extent is involvement in this medical experiment being sought?

"To adequately test this medical intervention, 230 participants with pre-defined qualifications must partake in the trial. Selected patients can join from Retina Consultants of Texas located in The Woodlands, TX or from Texas Retina Associates situated in Arlington, MS."

Answered by AI

How many facilities are taking part in the experiment?

"At the moment, 14 different clinical locations are hosting this trial. These sites are located in The Woodlands, Arlington and Southaven as well as 11 other areas. To reduce travel costs and strain on participants, it is recommended to choose a facility near you for participation."

Answered by AI

Is RO7200220 a reliable and secure medication for patients?

"The safety of RO7200220 was appraised as a 2, given that Phase 2 trials provide some evidence for its security but no supportive data to vouch for efficacy."
