Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)

Summary

This study tests the safety of an experimental eye injection called ONS-5010 (bevacizumab) in people with vision loss from wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, or branch retinal vein occlusion. Participants receive the injection and are monitored for side effects over three months. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe enough to move forward as a potential therapy for these common retinal conditions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bevacizumab (also called ONS-5010), given as an injection into the eye
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safe, approved option for treating common causes of vision loss like wet AMD and diabetic macular edema.
What could go wrong
This is a safety-focused trial, so it won't prove how well the drug works. Side effects from eye injections, such as infection or inflammation, are possible.
