Summary

This early-stage study tests a new drug, RO7497372, given as an eye injection for people with diabetic macular edema (DME), a condition that causes vision loss. The trial involves 151 participants and aims to check the drug's safety, how long it stays in the eye and blood, and its effects. It is split into two parts: first, testing different doses openly, then comparing two doses in a masked study.
