Eye injection study for diabetes-related vision loss ends early
NCT ID NCT07228559
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a single injection of avoralstat into the eye for people with diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes vision loss in diabetes. Only 3 adults took part before the study was stopped early. The main goal was to check safety and see if the drug might help reduce swelling in the retina.
