New eye drug could cut injection frequency for Diabetes-Related vision loss
NCT ID NCT07449936
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests EYP-1901, a new eye injection, against the standard treatment aflibercept for diabetic macular edema (DME), a condition that causes vision loss in people with diabetes. The study will enroll 240 participants and compare how well each drug improves vision over a year. The goal is to see if EYP-1901 can control DME with fewer injections than current treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EYP-1901 (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and aflibercept
- What this could lead to
- If successful, EYP-1901 could offer a longer-lasting treatment for diabetic macular edema, reducing the number of eye injections needed to control vision loss.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but results may not show EYP-1901 is as effective as aflibercept. Risks include eye inflammation, infection, or vision changes from the injection.

Inclusion Criteria: * Previously treated or treatment naïve patients with a documented diagnosis of macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the study eye, with onset of disease that began at any time prior to the Screening Visit. * Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score of 35 letters (20/200 Snellen equivalent) to 78 letters (20/32 Snellen equivalent) in the study eye at the Screening Visit and at Baseline (Day 1). * For previously treated participants: at least 1 injection of anti-VEGF in the past 12 months, the most recent anti-VEGF treatment for DME must not have been administered less than 12 weeks prior to the Screening Visit.
