Could a biosimilar eye injection offer a new way to treat diabetic macular edema?
NCT ID NCT04674800
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing MYL-1701P, a proposed biosimilar to the existing eye medication Eylea, in people with diabetic macular edema who have already completed an earlier study with the same drug. The goal is to see if continued treatment with MYL-1701P is safe and effective over a longer period. Participants will receive three injections of the drug, given eight weeks apart, and will be monitored for side effects and changes in vision and retinal thickness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MYL-1701P, a proposed biosimilar to Eylea (aflibercept), given as eye injections
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could support MYL-1701P as a safe and effective alternative to Eylea, potentially offering a more affordable treatment option for diabetic macular edema.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study with a small number of participants, so results may not be conclusive. As with any eye injection, there are risks of eye infection, inflammation, or increased eye pressure.

If male, subject must be surgically or biologically sterile. If not sterile, the subject must agree to use an acceptable form of birth control Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with known hypersensitivity to aflibercept or any of the excipients 2. Subjects will be excluded if any of the following conditions are met in the study eye: * Subjects with active ocular inflammation. * Subjects with uncontrolled glaucoma * Surgery for glaucoma in the past or likely to be needed in the future. 3. Subjects with active or suspected ocular or periocular infection including but not limited to infectious blepharitis, keratitis, scleritis, or conjunctivitis in either eye. 4.
