Summary

This trial will test an experimental treatment to see if it is safe and effective for a medical condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with moderate to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, vision of 20/63 or better, and no recent serious health issues like cancer or heart attack. Pregnant women and those with uncontrolled diabetes, blood pressure, eye infections/inflammation, glaucoma, or a history of certain eye surgeries are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests PER-001 Intravitreal Implant at two different doses against a sham procedure in people with diabetic retinopathy. It's randomized and single-masked meaning participants don't know if they're getting the real treatment or the sham.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, intravitreal implants can generally cause eye redness, discomfort or pain at the injection site, increased intraocular pressure, and potential infection.
