New eye drug AVT29 takes on eylea HD in DME trial
NCT ID NCT07489131
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new medicine called AVT29 against an approved drug, Eylea HD, for people with diabetic macular edema (DME), a leading cause of vision loss in diabetes. About 256 adults with DME will receive either AVT29 or Eylea HD to see if AVT29 works just as well at improving vision over 8 weeks. The goal is to offer another treatment option for this eye condition.

Main Exclusion Criteria: * previous treatment with anti-VEGF therapy * history or concurrent disease other than DME that could compromise visual acuity * Any condition that, in the Investigator ́s opinion, can interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of the study treatment and attending required visits; can pose a significant risk to the participant, or interfere with interpretation of study data * participants not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by the Investigator, including medical or psychiatric conditions, or participants potentially at risk of noncompliance to study procedures.
