Eye scan showdown: faricimab vs ranibizumab in diabetic retinopathy

NCT ID NCT07520045

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two eye injections—faricimab and a biosimilar version of ranibizumab—in 100 adults with diabetic retinopathy. Researchers will use eye scans (OCT and OCT angiography) to see which drug leads to better early changes in the retina after three monthly doses. The goal is to find imaging markers that predict who responds best to each treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

faricimab and biosimilar ranibizumab (eye injections)

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors choose the best eye injection for each patient with diabetic retinopathy based on early imaging signs.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (100 people) that only looks at imaging changes after three doses. It does not test long-term vision outcomes or safety, so results may not change practice directly.
