Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called OCU200, given as an injection into the eye, for people with diabetic macular edema (swelling in the center of the retina caused by diabetes). The study will include 24 participants and will primarily check for safety and side effects, while also measuring vision changes. The goal is to see if OCU200 can help control the condition and preserve eyesight.
