NCT ID NCT06599684
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small Phase 2 study tested INV-102 eye drops in 19 people with diabetic macular edema, a swelling in the back of the eye caused by diabetes. Participants used the drops daily for 8 to 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the drops could improve retinal health and reduce swelling. This is an early step toward a potential non-invasive treatment.
