About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Diabetic Macular Edema focused on measuring Retinal disease, Macular edema, Diabetes mellitus, Diabetic macular edema, Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • nAMD patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are inadequately responding to or failed current treatment options.
  • Active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with age-related macular degeneration as evidenced on FA and SD-OCT at Day 1, including presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid.
  • BCVA in the study eye (most affected) of 70 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters or worse at screening and on Day 1.
  • Patients who have the capacity to give informed consent and who are willing and able to comply with all study-related procedures and assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any ocular/intraocular/periocular infection or inflammation in either eye in the past 4 weeks prior to screening.
  • Subretinal hemorrhage with bleeding area ≥4 disc area in the study eye
  • Concomitant therapy with anti-VEGF therapies (e.g., Avastin®, Lucentis®, or Eylea®) or previous use of these agents in the study eye within approximately 28 days of study enrollment
  • Any retinovascular disease or retinal degeneration other than nAMD in the study eye.
  • History of systemic and intraocular steroid use for 6 months prior to Day 1. The use of intravitreal nonbiodegradable steroid implants (ex. Iluvien®, Yutiq®, Retisert®) is prohibited.
  • Significant media opacities, including cataract, which might interfere with VA, assessment of toxicity, or fundus imaging.
  • Any uncontrolled medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single intravitreal injection of UBX1325 in patients diagnosed with diabetic macular edema (DME) or neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1, open-label, first-in-human (FIH), single-ascending dose (SAD) study consisting of approximately 4 cohorts. The total number of patients will be at least 3 per cohort plus 3 additional patients in the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) cohort in order to address the primary objective. Up to an additional 6 nAMD patients will be enrolled in the highest dose cohort. A single dose of UBX1325 will be administered intravitreally and all patients will be followed for approximately 6 months.
