Conditions
Brief summary
This study is conducted to select the THR-687 dose level (Part A of the study) and to assess the efficacy and safety of the selected dose level compared to aflibercept (Part B of the study).
Detailed description
In Part A, approximately 12 subjects are planned to be randomized (1:1 allocation) to THR-687 1.2mg and THR-687 2.0mg. In Part B, in the cohort of Treatment Naïve subjects are planned to be randomized (2:1 allocation) to THR-687 selected dose level from Part A and Aflibercept 2.0mg. In Part B, in the cohort of Previously Treated subjects are planned to be randomized (1:1 allocation) to THR-687 selected dose level from Part A and Aflibercept 2.0mg. All subjects in the study will receive study treatment in one selected study eye only.
Interventions
3 intravitreal injections of THR-687 dose level 1, 1 month apart
3 intravitreal injections of THR-687 dose level 2, 1 month apart
3 intravitreal injections of THR-687 selected dose level, 1 month apart, possibly followed by a 4th intravitreal injection with the same dose level of THR-687 at Month 3, or Month 4, or Month 5, if any of the PRN criteria are met.
3 intravitreal injections of aflibercept, 1 month apart, possibly followed by a 4th intravitreal injection with aflibercept at Month 3, or Month 4, or Month 5, if any of the PRN criteria are met.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
The subjects in this study will be subjects with central-involved DME (CI-DME). Both treatment-naïve and previously treated subjects will be included. Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent obtained from the subject prior to screening procedures * Male or female aged 18 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent * Type 1 or type 2 diabetes * BCVA ETDRS letter score ≥ 39 in the study eye * CI-DME with CST of ≥ 300µm in men (or equivalent in women), measured from RPE to ILM inclusively, on SD-OCT, in the study eye * BCVA ETDRS letter score ≥ 34 in the fellow eye
Exclusion criteria
* Macular edema due to causes other than DME in the study eye * Concurrent disease in the study eye, other than DME, that could require medical or surgical intervention during the study period or could confound interpretation of the results * Any condition in the study eye that could confound the ability to detect the efficacy of the investigational medicinal product * Previous confounding medications / interventions, or their planned administration during the study * Presence of iris neovascularisation in the study eye * Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye * Previously received THR-687 or any other experimental therapy for DME, in either eye * Any active or suspected ocular or periocular infection, or active intraocular inflammation, in either eye * Untreated Diabetes * Glycated haemoglobin A (HbA1c) \> 12% * Uncontrolled hypertension

Adverse Events will be summarized by System Organ Class and Primary Term. Incidence by subject represents at least one occurrence of the Primary Term with an onset on or after the date of the first study treatment. If a subject has multiple occurrences of an adverse event (P-term), the subject is presented only once in the respective subject count. |
