Summary

This trial tests a new injectable drug, D-4517.2, in people with wet AMD or DME. The drug aims to block a protein that causes harmful blood vessel growth in the eye, potentially preventing further vision loss.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) or Diabetic Macular Edema (DME). Participants must have shown improvement after previous anti-VEGF treatments, agree to contraception if of childbearing potential, and be likely to complete the study. Exclusions include uncontrolled blood pressure or diabetes, certain allergies, recent heart attacks or strokes, and other serious health conditions.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new medication called D-4517.2 administered under the skin for people with wet AMD or DME. It aims to evaluate safety, how well it's tolerated by patients, and how the body processes it.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones related to subcutaneous injections may include pain at injection site, swelling, bruising and possible allergic reactions. The drug's safety profile will be closely monitored throughout the trial.
