Conditions

Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug TNTL works to treat non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy in adults. It will also learn about the safety of drug TNTL. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does drug TNTL can improve visual acuity and reduce the degree of retinopathy? 2. What medical problems do participants have when taking drug TNTL? Researchers will compare drug TNTL to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if drug TNTL works to treat non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Participants will: 1. Take drug TNTL or a placebo every day for 6 months 2. Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests 3. Keep a diary of their symptoms and Change from baseline

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline after 24 weeks of medication;From enrollment to the end of treatment at 24 weeksAfter 24 weeks of medication, the subjects' best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was checked and compared with the value measured at week 0 to observe the degree of change from baseline value;

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes in retinal macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) compared to baselineFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 and 24 weeks.Changes in retinal macular optical coherence tomography(OCT) after 12 and 24 weeks of medication compared to baseline
Change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline after medicationFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks,8weeks,12weeks,16weeks,20weeksAfter 4 weeks,8weeks,12weeks,16weeks,20weeks of medication, the subjects' best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was checked separately and compared with the value measured at week 0 to observe the degree of change from baseline value;
The change and progression rate of ETDRS classification DR Classification from baseline after 12 and 24 weeks of medication;From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12weeks and 24weeks.After 12 weeks,24 weeks of medication, the subjects' ETDRS classification based on the Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Score and compared with the value measured at week 0 to observe the change and progression rate from baseline value as required, with a minimum score of 10 and a maximum score of 90. The higher the score, the more severe it is.
The proportion of subjects whose best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)increased by ≥ 5, ≥ 10, ≥ 15 compared to baseline after medication;From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4,8,12,16,20, and 24 weeksAfter 4,8,12,16,20,24 weeks of medication, count the proportion of subjects whose best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) increased by ≥ 5, ≥ 10, ≥ 15 compared to baseline
Changes in fundus condition compared to baselineFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 and 24 weeks.Changes in fundus condition compared to baseline after 12 and 24 weeks of medication
Changes in HemoglobinA1c compared to baselineFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 and 24 weeks.Changes in HemoglobinA1c levels compared to baseline after 12 and 24 weeks of medication
