Clinical Trial Summary

To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of suprachoroidal CLS-TA alone or in combination with intravitreal aflibercept in subjects with diabetic macular edema associated with diabetes mellitus.


Description:

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of suprachoroidal (SC) CLS-TA in subjects with DME associated with diabetes mellitus.

CLS-TA, triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, is a sterile, preservative-free, aqueous suspension formulated for administration into the eye. The drug product is terminally sterilized and is intended for single use. CLS-TA is supplied as a 40 mg/mL sterile suspension in a 2 mL/13 mm TopLyo single use vial with a rubber stopper and an aluminum seal.

This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study in subjects with DME associated with diabetes mellitus. Subjects will be screened and if eligible, will be assigned to a study arm at the Baseline Visit. Following the Baseline Visit, subjects will participate in six monthly follow-up visits for safety and efficacy assessments and to determine whether additional therapy is needed based upon established criteria.

Subjects will be assigned to one of two treatment arms in the study based upon prior treatment for DME in the study eye. Those subjects who have never received treatment in the study eye for DME or whose DME treatment in the study was more than 1 year prior to the screening date, at the PI's discretion, will be enrolled into the TX Naive study arm. Those subjects who have received treatment for DME in the study eye within the last 12 months, will be enrolled into the Previous TX study arm.

Treatment in the TX Naive arm will consist of one unilateral injections of IVT aflibercept in combination with one unilateral injection of SC CLS-TA in the same eye.

Treatment in the Previous TX arm of the study will consist of one unilateral injection of SC CLS-TA.

Approximately 20 subjects will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio where approximately 10 subjects will be enrolled into the TX Naive arm and approximately 10 subjects will be enrolled into the Previous TX arm.

Accepts healthy volunteers No
Gender Both
Age group 18 Years and older
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Men or women = 18 years of age with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus

- DME with central involvement (= 320 microns in the central subfield on SD-OCT) in the study eye

- ETDRS BCVA letter score of 83 to 14, inclusive (Snellen equivalent of 20/25 to 20/500) in the study eye

- Understands the language of the informed consent; willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to any study procedures; willing to comply with the instructions and attend all scheduled study visits

Exclusion Criteria:

- Evidence of DME due to any cause other than diabetes mellitus in the study eye

- Panretinal photocoagulation or focal laser photocoagulation in the study eye within 90 days of screening

- Intraocular pressure = 22 mmHg or uncontrolled glaucoma (open angle or angle closure) in the study eye

- History of any previous ophthalmic surgeries in the study eye within 90 days of screening

- High Risk Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in the study eye, for whom enrollment into the study, in the principal investigator's opinion would put the eye at undue risk for vision loss

- Any previous treatment in the study eye with ILUVIEN implant

- Previous treatment for DME in the study eye (TX Naive arm only); treatment in the study eye for DME greater than 1 year prior to screening can be considered as treatment naive at the principal investigator's discretion

- Subjects previously treated for DME cannot have been treated in the study eye with an intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF or periocular corticosteroids within 90 days prior to screening (Previous TX arm only)

- Subjects previously treated for DME can not have been treated in the study eye with intraocular corticosteroids within 6 months prior to screening (Previous TX arm only)

- Known hypersensitivity to any component of the CLS-TA, fluorescein, or topical anesthetic

- Uncontrolled blood pressure (defined as = 180/110 mmHg systolic/diastolic, while seated)

- If female, the subject must be non-pregnant, non-lactating and not planning a pregnancy. Females of childbearing potential must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception throughout participation in this study. Acceptable methods of contraception include double barrier methods (condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide), hormonal methods (oral contraceptives, implantable, transdermal, or injectable contraceptives), or an intrauterine contraceptive device with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year. Abstinence may be considered an acceptable method of contraception at the discretion of the investigator, but the subject must agree to use one of the acceptable birth control methods if she becomes sexually active

- Currently enrolled in an investigational drug or device study or has used an investigational drug or device within the last 30 days
