New drug combo aims to slow diabetic retinopathy

NCT ID NCT07230184

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed Phase 4 trial tested whether adding a second drug (B55R2) to standard treatment (B55R1) works better for people with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, an early stage of diabetic eye disease. 52 adults with mild to severe disease took either the combination or B55R1 alone twice daily for 24 weeks. The main goal was to see if hard exudates (fatty deposits in the eye) improved by at least one grade.
