This is a Phase 2a Proof-of-Concept (POC) study. The study will enroll approximately 62 patients randomized 1:1 into either the UBX1325 or sham study arms, in order to assess safety and tolerability as well as impact on visual function and retinal anatomy. Patients will be followed for 24 weeks for the primary outcome measure and for an additional 24 weeks (48 weeks total) for the secondary outcome measures.
This study is intended to assess the exposure, safety, biological activity, and durability of UBX1325, a phosphate pro-drug, and its active parent molecule (UBX0601) following a single intravitreal (IVT) injection of UBX1325 in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).
