Brief summary

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of RO7497372 in participants with DME. The study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 will test multiple-ascending doses of RO7497372 after unilateral intravitreal (IVT) administration in participants with DME. The main purpose of Part 1 is to provide data for RO7497372 safety and tolerability, as well as to characterize the ocular and systemic pharmacokinetics (PK), systemic anti-drug antibodies (ADA), and duration of target engagement, i.e., the pharmacodynamics (PD) in aqueous humor (AH) and blood. Part 2 will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of two dose strengths of RO7497372 (low dose and high dose), identified as safe and tolerated in Part 1.

Part 2: Number of Participants With Severe or Serious Drug-Related IOI AEsBaseline to Week 48Number of participants with severe or serious drug-related IOI AEs severity will be determined according to the DAIDS toxicity grading scale as reported by the Investigator.
Part 2: Number of Participants With Occlusive Retinal Vasculitis AEs as Reported by the InvestigatorBaseline to Week 48

Part 2: Concentration of RO7497372 in PlasmaUp to Week 56
Part 2: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score Over TimeFrom Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 56BCVA will be measured via Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified visual acuity (VA) examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.
Part 2: Absolute Value of BCVA Score Over TimeUp to Week 56BCVA will be measured via ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified VA examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants Gaining ≥ 15, ≥ 10, ≥ 5, or ≥ 0 Letters in BCVA From Baseline Over TimeUp to Week 56BCVA will be measured via ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified VA examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants Avoiding a Loss of ≥ 15, ≥ 10, ≥ 5, or ≥ 0 Letters in BCVA From Baseline Over TimeUp to Week 56BCVA will be measured via ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified VA examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.
Part 2: Change From Baseline in Central Subfield Thickness (CST) Over TimeFrom Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 56CST is defined as the average thickness of the central 1-mm circle of the ETDRS grid centered to the fovea measured between the internal limiting membrane and the Bruch's membrane. CST will be determined by CRC evaluation of SD-OCT images.
Part 2: Absolute Value of CST Over TimeUp to Week 56CST is defined as the average thickness of the central 1-mm circle of the ETDRS grid centered to the fovea measured between the internal limiting membrane and the Bruch's membrane. CST will be determined by CRC evaluation of SD-OCT images.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Absence of DME Over TimeUp to Week 56Absence of DME is defined as CST \< 325 micrometre (μm) by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Absence of Intraretinal Fluid and/or Subretinal Fluid Over TimeUp to Week 56Presence of intraretinal and subretinal fluid will be determined by CRC evaluation of SD -OCT images.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants With ≥ 2-step Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) Improvement From Baseline on the ETDRS DRSS Over TimeUp to Week 56The DRSS will be graded according to ETDRS grading schedules from report 18 JOVS, February 1998, Vol. 39, No. 2. ETDRS DRSS is 13 step scale which measures severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The DRSS scores vary from 10 (DR absent) to 90 (ungradable proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)). Higher levels indicate higher severity.
