Summary

This study tested the safety and effectiveness of brolucizumab, a drug injected into the eye, for treating diabetic macular edema (DME) in 66 Indian patients. DME is a complication of diabetes that can cause vision loss. The study aimed to see how well the drug works in real-world conditions, not just in controlled trials. Results will help doctors understand if brolucizumab is a good option for managing DME.
