A Study in People With Diabetic Macular Edema to Test How Well Different Doses of BI 3812465 Are Tolerated (NCT07553429)

A First-in-human, Open-label (Part 1), Randomized (Part 2), Phase I/IIa Trial to Study Safety and Tolerability of Multiple Rising Intravitreal Doses of BI 3812465 in Patients With Center-involved Diabetic Macular Edema

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Boehringer Ingelheim

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study is open to adults with diabetic macular edema that involves the center of the eye. The purpose of this study is to find out how well different doses of a medicine called BI 3812465 are tolerated by people with this condition. This is the first time BI 3812465 is given to humans. This study has 2 parts. In Part 1, a small number of participants receive low, medium, or high doses of BI 3812465. The first participants to start the study get low doses of BI 3812465. Participants who start later get higher doses only if the lower doses were tolerated. In Part 2, a larger number of participants are placed into low, medium, or high dose groups. Participants in both parts of the study get BI 3812465 as injections into the back of the eye for a total of 3 eye injections. Participants are in the study for up to 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site 19 times. Where possible, some visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. At study visits, the doctors check the severity of participants' eye condition and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 3812465.
