Phase 2
Waitlist Available
Led By Carl Regillo, MD
Research Sponsored by OcuTerra Therapeutics, Inc.

Be older than 18 years old
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up from baseline (day 1) up to week 24
Summary
This trial is testing OTT166 eye drops to see if they can help people with diabetic retinopathy who haven't had other treatments. The drops aim to protect the retina by preventing harmful changes in blood vessels caused by diabetes.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and moderate to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) or mild proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), who have good vision (20/40 or better) and haven't had previous treatments like anti-VEGF, steroids, laser therapy, or surgery for their eye condition. Participants must not be using certain diabetes medications unless on a stable dose for at least a year.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing OTT166 Ophthalmic solution against a vehicle control to see if it's safe and effective in treating Diabetic Retinopathy. Patients will receive either the study drug or a placebo in their eyes to compare outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of OTT166 are not listed here, common side effects from ophthalmic solutions can include eye irritation, redness, discomfort, blurred vision temporarily after application, potential allergic reactions, and rarely more serious eye conditions.

Other Research
Common treatments for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) include anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) injections, corticosteroids, and laser therapy. Anti-VEGF treatments, such as ranibizumab and aflibercept, work by inhibiting the growth of abnormal blood vessels and reducing vascular permeability, which helps to prevent vision loss.
Corticosteroids reduce retinal inflammation and edema, thereby improving visual acuity. Laser therapy seals leaking blood vessels and reduces the risk of further hemorrhage.
These treatments are crucial for DR patients as they address the underlying pathophysiological processes of inflammation and abnormal blood vessel growth, which are key contributors to vision impairment in DR.
