Summary
This trial is studying a new kind of steroid eye drops to see if it can help those with macular edema due to Uveitis or eye surgery.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with Uveitic macular edema (UME) or post-surgical macular edema (PSME), who have had the condition for less than 3 years (UME) or less than 1 year (PSME). Participants must have a certain level of vision impairment and be able to attend all study visits. Those with macular edema due to other causes, significant eye diseases, high myopia, history of steroid-induced increased eye pressure, active infections, pregnancy/breastfeeding, unstable uveitis or immunosuppressive treatment are excluded.
What is being tested?
The LEOPARD trial is testing OCS-01 steroid eye drops' safety and effectiveness in treating fluid buildup in the back of the eye caused by UVE or following surgery. Patients will use different doses for 24 weeks while undergoing regular detailed eye exams to monitor their response and any side effects.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, common side effects from similar steroid treatments may include increased intraocular pressure which can lead to glaucoma if persistent; cataract formation; potential for secondary infection; discomfort at application site; blurred vision temporarily after administration.

Trial Design
4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Low dose PSME - 3 drops of OCS-01 and 3 drops of PlaceboExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
From baseline until week 4 all participants will receive 01 drop of OCS-01, six times a day.
At week 4, the participants randomized to low dose group will receive 01 drop of OCS-01 three times a day and 01 drop of placebo three times a day, (total 6 drops each day) until the primary end point at week 12.
Starting week 12 the treatment will be administered based on the retreatment criteria until the end of study at week 24.
Group II: Low Dose UME 3 drops OCS-01 and 3 drops PlaceboExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
From baseline until week 4 all participants will receive 01 drop of OCS-01, six times a day.
At week 4, the participants randomized to low dose group will receive 01 drop of OCS-01 three times a day and 01 drop of placebo three times a day,( total 6 drops each day) until the primary end point at week 12.
Starting week 12 the treatment will be administered based on the retreatment criteria until the end of study at week 24.
Group III: High dose PSME - 6 drops of OCS-01Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
From baseline until week 4 all participants will receive 01 drop of OCS-01, six times a day.
At week 4, participants randomized to the high dose group will continue to receive 01 drop of OCS-01 six times a day until the primary end point at week 12.
Starting week 12 the treatment will be administered based on the retreatment criteria until the end of study at week 24.
Group IV: High Dose UME - 6 drops OCS-01Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
From baseline until week 4 all participants will receive 01 drop of OCS-01, six times a day.
At week 4, participants randomized to the high dose group will continue to receive 01 drop of OCS-01 six times a day until the primary end point at week 12.
Starting week 12 the treatment will be administered based on the retreatment criteria until the end of study at week 24.
