Conditions

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

Brief summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LX111 treatment of DME. This study will enroll participants aged ≥ 18 vears old to receive a single unilateral intravitreal (lVT) injection of LX111 to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

Detailed description

This trial is a prospective, multicenter, dose-ranging trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LX111 in participants with DME. The trial will be conducted in two parts: Dose Confirmation and Dose Expansion.

Interventions

LX111 is an rAAV gene therapy vector carrying a coding sequence for VEGF-trap.
