Current Clinical Trials

  • Canberra Study A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of RG7774 in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 or Type 2 With Treatment-Naive Diabetic Retinopathy

    The study's main purpose is to asses the safety, tolerability, and effect of oral administration of RG7774 on the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in participants with moderately severe to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and good vision.

  • Pavilion Study A Multicenter, Randomized Study in Participants With Diabetic Retinopathy Without Center-involved Diabetic Macular Edema To Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Ranibizumab Delivered Via the Port Delivery System Relative to the Comparator Arm

    Study GR41675 is a Multicenter, Randomized Study in Participants with Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Without Center-Involved Diabetic Macular Edema (CI-DME) to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety of the Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab (PDS) Relative to the Comparator Arm.

  • Photon Study of a High-Dose Aflibercept in Participants With Diabetic Eye Disease

    The primary objective of the study is to determine if treatment with high-dose aflibercept (HD) at intervals of 12 or 16 weeks provides non-inferior best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) compared to aflibercept dosed every 8 weeks.

    The secondary objectives of the study are as follows:

    • To determine the effect of HD vs. aflibercept on anatomic and other visual measures of response

    • To evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of aflibercept

  • Kingfisher Study Efficacy and Safety of Brolucizumab vs Aflibercept in Patients With Visual Impairment Due to Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab vs. aflibercept in the treatment of patients with visual impairment due to DME. In this 12-month, randomized, double-masked, multicenter, active controlled study, consenting patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (brolucizumab: aflibercept) and attend 15 planned visits.

  • Protocol AC Study

  • ILUVIEN® (Paladin) Study

    A Phase 4 Safety Study of IOP Signals in Patients Treated With ILUVIEN® (Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal Implant) 0.19 mg ILUVIEN is a microimplant designed to release a continuous, low-dose treatment to the retina for up to 36 months to help maintain consistent vision longer. The medicine in ILUVIEN is called fluocinolone acetonide (FAc), a type of steroid called a corticosteroid. FAc helps treat the inflammation associated with diabetic macular edema (DME).
