What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called RZ402 in 94 people with diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes vision loss in people with diabetes. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and can reduce swelling in the retina and improve eyesight compared to a placebo. Participants took the drug or a placebo pill for several months while doctors monitored their eye health and vision.

Uncontrolled glaucoma, at screening, defined as IOP ≥25 mmHg. 16. The use of corticosteroids as follows: 1. Topical corticosteroids within 12 weeks prior to Randomization and throughout the remainder of the study. 2. Use of intraocular or sub-Tenon's steroids within 2 years of Randomization in phakic eyes or 9 months of Randomization in pseudophakic eyes, and throughout the remainder of the study. Fellow Eye Exclusion Criteria: 17. Intraocular or sub-Tenon's steroid injection within 6 months of Randomization and throughout the remainder or the study. General Exclusion: 18. Use of the following medications or substances within the specified timeframes below and throughout the remainder of the study. a. Within 16 weeks of Randomization: i. Systemic anti-VEGF or pro-VEGF treatments ii. Systemic, approved, or off-label drugs or devices used to treat DME iii. Participated in an investigational drug or device study within 16 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of Randomization, including systemic or ocular studies iv. Initiation of drugs or substances known to improve or worsen macular edema e.g., Latanoprost or phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors (e.g., Sildenafil or others in PDE-5 class), but participants may remain on these drugs if they were initiated \>16 weeks prior to Randomization. b. Within 12 weeks of Randomization: i. Use of tobacco- or nicotine- containing products (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, vaping). c. Within 4 weeks of Randomization: i.
