Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, single-masked (participant), sham controlled clinical study.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: PER-001 Intravitreal Implant - Low Dose
  • Drug: PER-001 Intravitreal Implant - High Dose
  • Drug: PER-001 Intravitreal Implant - Sham
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This clinical study is a randomized, single-masked (participant) study to further investigate the ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of the two dose levels of PER-001 Intravitreal Implants in participants with diabetic retinopathy. Participants who meet entry criteria will be randomized to receive either dose of PER-001 or sham control. A total of approximately 24 participants (12 in each Cohort, will be randomized).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) [End of Study(Week 24)]

    Change in BCVA from Baseline at Week 24 using BETDRS or modified ETDRS chart (Charts 1, 2, and R as applicable) with standardized distance and lighting ill be used to calculate the LogMAR score

  2. Intraocular Pressure (IOP) [End of Study(Week 24)]

    IOP change from Baseline at Week 24 as measured by a calibrated Goldmann applanation tonometry.

  3. Ocular Adverse events [End of Study(Week 24)]

    Frequency, severity and timing of ocular adverse events reported during the study will have verbatim terms mapped to corresponding thesaurus terms from the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities coding dictionary and reported in a table summary for each active and sham participants

  4. Systemic Adverse events [End of Study(Week 24)]

    Frequency, severity and timing of systemic adverse events reported during the study will have verbatim terms mapped to corresponding thesaurus terms from the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities coding dictionary and reported in a table summary for each active and sham participants

Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Yes
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent

  • A negative pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential at Screening (serum) and Day 1 (urine).

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Hemoglobin A1c >12%, or if HbA1c ≤12%, diabetes mellitus is uncontrolled in the opinion of the investigator

  • Females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy during the study

  • Active cancer within past 12 months except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma or prostate cancer

  • Uncontrolled blood pressure (defined as systolic >160 or diastolic >95 mmHg while the participant is sitting).

  • Currently untreated diabetes mellitus or previously untreated participants who initiated oral anti-diabetic medication or insulin within 3 months prior to Day 1

  • History of cerebrovascular accident or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1

  • Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation

  • Systemic anti-VEGF treatment within 4 months prior to Day 1

  • Any significant media opacity which precludes clinical evaluation and imaging of the retina

  • Presence of centrally involved DME (within 500 μm of the foveal center) at Screening and Day 1

  • Tractional retinal detachment, pre-retinal fibrosis, vitreomacular traction, or epiretinal membrane involving the fovea or disrupting the macular architecture

  • Active rubeosis

  • History of vitrectomy surgery or retinal detachment or macular hole (Stage 3 or 4)

  • Uncomplicated cataract surgery within 3 months of Screening or yttrium-aluminum- garnet capsulotomy (YAG) within 4 weeks of Screening

  • Any active uveitis and/or vitritis or history of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis

  • History of herpetic ocular diseases
