Study summary

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide, CLS-TA, in subjects with macular edema following non-infectious uveitis. A single suprachoroidal injection of one of two doses of CLS-TA will each be evaluated in subjects with macular edema following non-infectious uveitis.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, randomized, masked, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of two different doses of CLS-TA in the treatment of subjects with macular edema following non-infectious uveitis. Each subject will receive a single suprachoroidal injection of CLS-TA.

The subjects enrolled in this study will be chosen from subjects with macular edema following non-infectious uveitis. A single injection will be administered via the Clearside microinjector into the suprachoroidal space. The dose injected will either be 4 mg or 0.8 mg of CLS-TA in a total volume of 100 μL. The dose they receive will depend on what their randomization code dictates.

Subjects will be monitored for safety and efficacy for approximately 8 weeks following treatment.
