Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Proportion of patients with progression from mild/moderate to severe NPDR (As per ETDRS scale) 2.To evaluate changes OCTA (dye-less angiography) Timepoint: Screening/Baseline, Day 60, Day 120, Day 180

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes 1. Change in central retinal thickness (assessed by OCT) 2. Change in visual acuity (ETDRS letters) 3. Change in glycemia parameters (HbA1c) & glycemic variability 4. Change in renal function (serum creatinine, eGFR, urinary albumin excretion) 5. Change in insulin resistance (estimated glucose disposal rate [eGDR], adiponectin) 6. Change in lipid/lipoprotein profile (lipids, ApoA1, ApoB, AGE-LDL, LDL-immune complexes) 7. Change in nutrition-related markers (Vitamin D, homocysteine) 8. Change in inflammatory markers (WCC, ESR, CRP, adhesion molecules, cytokines, chemokines, transcription factors) 9. Change in oxidative stress markers (oxLDL, isoprostanes) 10. Change in advanced glycation end-products (AGEs, sRAGE) 11. Change in growth factor-related markers (VEGF, PEDF, FGF21)Timepoint: Day 0, Day 60 & Day 180;12. Change in vascular tone markers (Endothelin-1, nitric oxide-related markers, ADMA) 13. Change in thrombosis & fibrinolysis markers (fibrinogen, PAI-1) 14. Change in glycomics (analysis of glucose-modified lipids or proteins) 15. Adverse events (AEs). 16. Abnormal findings in vital signs & medical interviews. 17. Abnormal changes in the hematology, serum biochemistry, & urine analysis results. Timepoint: Day 0, Day 60 & Day 180
