A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of OTX-TKI (Axitinib Implant) in Participants With Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Double-Masked, Randomized, 3-Arm Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravitreal OTXTKI (Axitinib Implant) in Participants With Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

About This Trial

The purpose of this trial is to study the safety and effectiveness of OTX-TKI (axitinib intravitreal hydrogel) for the treatment of Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. OTX-TKI is an intravitreal hydrogel embedded with axitinib. When the OTX-TKI hydrogel is administered into the vitreous cavity of the eye, the hydrogel begins to slowly break down, which allows the axitinib to be slowly released over time. This clinical trial is comparing OTX-TKI to a "sham" injection procedure. The sham injection is a mock injection procedure, but nothing will actually be inserted in the eye as there is no needle on the sham injector. Only one eye ("study eye") will be treated with study treatment.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Male or female who is at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the willing to sign a consent form form (ICF) 2. History of or newly diagnosed with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus and have moderately severe to severe NPDR (DRSS levels 47 or 53), confirmed by the Central Reading Center (CRC) based on the images obtained at the Screening visit 3. BCVA Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score of ≥ 69 letters (approximate Snellen equivalent of 20/40 or better) in the study eye 4. Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures 5. Provide signed willing to sign a consent form Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Presence of center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME) defined per protocol via optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in the study eye, obtained at the Screening visit 2. Evidence of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or visually significant/severe epiretinal membrane, vitreomacular traction syndrome, macular hole, tear of the retinal pigment epithelium in the macula, or other macular pathology in the study eye deemed visually significant by the Investigator 3. In the study eye, any panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatment prior to baseline, or received focal or grid laser photocoagulation within 1000 microns of the central subfield of the macula within 6 months prior to baseline 4. IVT anti-VEGF treatment in the study eye within 6 months or port delivery system (PDS) with ranibizumab in the study eye at any time prior to baseline (Day 1) 5. (There are additional exclusion criteria) Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
