What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean change from baseline in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study best-corrected visual acuity letter score at Week 52

    The minimum and maximum values are: 0 to 100 The higher the value the better the result

    Time frame: 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean annualized number of aflibercept injections after Week 4 through Week 52

    Minimum 0 maximum 12 One injection per visit, one visit every four weeks

    Time frame: Week 4 through Week 52

  2. Proportion of participants with a ≥ 2-step improvement from baseline in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (ETDRS-DRSS) at Week 52

    ETDRS-DRSS is a visual acuity test Results are analyzing using a generalized estimating equations model

    Time frame: 52 weeks

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — Data obtained through this study may be provided, after deidentification, to qualified researchers with academic interest in DME in compliance with ICMJE policy. Data or samples shared will be coded, with no Protected Health Information included. Additionally, descriptions of the study protocol, Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP), informed consent and clinical study report may be shared publicly. Approval of the request and execution of all applicable agreements (i.e. a material transfer agreement) are prerequisites to the sharing of data with the requesting party. Data requests can be submitted starting after final Clinical Study Report and the data will be made accessible for a duration determined by the Sponsor, and in accordance with ICMJE policy. Access to trial IPD can be requested by qualified researchers engaging in independent scientific research, and will be provided following review and approval of a research proposal and SAP and execution of a Data Sharing Agreement (DSA)

Timeline

2 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2029, 28 months after the start.

Of 58 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Eye Diseases, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 21. This study's planned 28 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 70 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 24.

Eye Diseases covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
