Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Have a documented diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus and an HbA1c of ≤ 10.0% prior to screening (Visit 1).
Have DME with presence of intraretinal and/or subretinal fluid in the study eye, with CST of ≥310 µm by SD-OCT at screening (Visit 1) (as assessed by an independent reading center).
Must not have
Have a known history of significant macular ischemia which would prevent gain in visual acuity in the study eye.
Have macular edema considered to be because of a cause other than DME.
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks

Summary

This trial looks at an eye treatment to help people with diabetes-related vision problems.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), a condition where blood vessels leak into the retina causing swelling. Participants should have this specific eye condition to qualify.
What is being tested?
The study is testing OCS-01, a dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension, against a placebo (Vehicle) to see if it's more effective and safe in treating DME when applied as eye drops.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of OCS-01 may include increased pressure inside the eye, cataract formation, and possible risk of infections or allergic reactions from the eye drops.
