New drug could cut repeat eye surgeries in diabetics

NCT ID NCT06191094

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

Summary

This study tests whether the drug farcimab (Vabysmo), given as an injection before and after eye surgery, can reduce bleeding complications in people with diabetes who have bleeding inside the eye. About 100 adults will receive either farcimab or a sham injection. The goal is to see if farcimab lowers the chance of needing another surgery and helps improve vision.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

farcimab (Vabysmo) injection

What this could lead to

If it works, this could reduce the need for repeat surgeries and improve vision recovery in diabetic patients with eye bleeding.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 100 participants. The drug may not reduce bleeding better than sham, and there are risks from the injection itself, such as infection or inflammation.
