Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Brief summary
The purpose of this trial is to study the safety and effectiveness of OTX-TKI (axitinib intravitreal hydrogel) for the treatment of Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. OTX-TKI is an intravitreal hydrogel embedded with axitinib. When the OTX-TKI hydrogel is administered into the vitreous cavity of the eye, the hydrogel begins to slowly break down, which allows the axitinib to be slowly released over time. This clinical trial is comparing OTX-TKI to a "sham" injection procedure. The sham injection is a mock injection procedure, but nothing will actually be inserted in the eye as there is no needle on the sham injector. Only one eye ("study eye") will be treated with study treatment.
Interventions
DRUGSingle intravitreal injection of axitinib hydrogel implant followed by a mock (sham) injection procedure at Week 24
OTX-TKI 0.45 mg is a dried polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel containing dispersed drug particles of the small molecule axitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
DRUGIntravitreal injection of axitinib hydrogel implant followed by a second intravitreal injection of the axitinib implant at Week 24
OTX-TKI 0.45 mg is a dried polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel containing dispersed drug particles of the small molecule axitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).

Exclusion criteria
1. Presence of center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME) defined per protocol via optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in the study eye, obtained at the Screening visit 2. Evidence of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or visually significant/severe epiretinal membrane, vitreomacular traction syndrome, macular hole, tear of the retinal pigment epithelium in the macula, or other macular pathology in the study eye deemed visually significant by the Investigator 3. In the study eye, any panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatment prior to baseline, or received focal or grid laser photocoagulation within 1000 microns of the central subfield of the macula within 6 months prior to baseline 4. IVT anti-VEGF treatment in the study eye within 6 months or port delivery system (PDS) with ranibizumab in the study eye at any time prior to baseline (Day 1) 5. (There are additional

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DRSS 2-step change status at Week 52 from baseline in the study eye (≥ 2 step improvement, ≥ 2-step worsening, < 2-step change in either direction) | 52 weeks | The Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) measures the severity of the diabetic retinopathy in patients by grading retinal images obtained by color fundus photography. Severity is determined by the presence of specific signs. |
