Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What goals is this research endeavor attempting to reach?

"This clinical trial's primary outcome, to be assessed at the end of Week 24, is determining if there has been an improvement in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) scores for patients by two or more levels. Secondary objectives include assessing whether topical OTT166 can avert/delay visually threatening complications such as PDR (with vitreous haemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment due to PDR), anterior segment neovascularization and center-involved diabetic macular edema; the effect on central subfield thickness via OCT scans; and ascertaining how long it takes before a patient experiences PDR"
