Exited the SAKURA program under Amendment 05 3. Have received at least two injections of DE-109 in the first five months of the SAKURA program 4. Received clinical benefit from treatment with DE-109 as determined by the Investigator 5. Female participants of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or breast-feeding, have a negative pregnancy test at Day 1 and must be willing to undergo pregnancy tests throughout the study 6. Both female participants of childbearing potential and male participants able to father children must have (or have a partner who has) had a hysterectomy or vasectomy, must abstain from intercourse or must agree to practice acceptable methods of contraception throughout the course of the study 7.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: A subject from the SAKURA program with any of the following conditions is not eligible to participate in the study: Ocular: 1. Active infectious uveitis. However, if the uveitis is the consequence of a previous infectious disease, such as tuberculosis, the previous infectious disease must be confirmed as no longer active. 2. Any implantable corticosteroid-eluting device (e.g. Ozurdex, I-vation, Iluvien, fluocinolone acetonide [FA] intravitreal implant) in the study eye: a. If the Investigator confirms the device has no demonstrable efficacy as indicated in the package insert, the subject will be eligible b. If a Medidur implant, Iluvien or Retisert has been implanted no less than 3 years and 90 days prior to Day 1, the subject will be eligible c. If a Ozurdex implant has been implanted no less than 180 days prior to Day 1, the subject will be eligible 3. Clinically suspected or confirmed central nervous system or ocular lymphoma 4. Progressive glaucoma which is unresponsive to treatment. 5. Intraocular pressure of > 21 mmHg while on medical therapy, or chronic hypotony (< 6 mmHg) 6. Any significant ocular disease that could compromise vision in the study eye. These include, but are not limited to: a. Diabetic retinopathy: proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) or non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) that compromises vision. Subjects with NPDR or PDR that does not compromise vision are not excluded from the study; b. Wet age-related macular degeneration; c. Myopic degeneration with active subfoveal choroidal neovascularization 7. Any of the following treatments to the study eye: a. Intravitreal injections in the past 14 days b. Intravitreal injections of DE-109 in the past 60 days 8. Ocular surgery within the past 30 days 9. Ocular or periocular infection in either eye 10. History of or active herpetic infection in the study eye or adnexa 11. Presence of known active, inactive toxoplasmosis or toxoplasmosis scar in either eye 12. Presence of any form of ocular malignancy in the either eye including choroidal melanoma 13. History of vitrectomy in the study eye Non-Ocular: 14. Allergy or hypersensitivity to study drug product or other study related procedures/medications 15. Participation in other investigational drug (SAKURA is an exception) or device clinical trials within 30 days prior to Day 1, or planning to participate in other investigational drug or device clinical trials for the entire duration of the study. This includes both ocular and non-ocular clinical trials. 16. Any recent systemic infection within 30 days of Day 1 17. Known to be immunocompromised 18. History of cytomegalovirus infection or clinical evidence of active cytomegalovirus infection at Day 1 19. History of other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, might affect the interpretation of the results of the study, or renders the subject at high risk for treatment complications 20. Malignancy in remission for less than 5 years prior to study participation (except basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or treated melanoma of the skin less than 24 months since last treatment) 21. Females who are pregnant or lactating and females of child-bearing potential who are not using adequate contraceptive precautions (i.e., intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, bar
