Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

ASKG712

Arm Description

Multiple doses of ASKG712 by intravitreal injection

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Incidence of ocular adverse events (AEs) of the study eyes
Any relevant ocular observations derived from best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, slitlamp examination, ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photography, and angiography
2. Incidence of non-ocular AEs
Any clinical safety observations assessed by physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiograph (ECG) and clinical laboratory tests

Secondary Outcome Measures

To evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetics of ASKG712 in patients with DME
2. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)
To evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetics of ASKG712 in patients with DME
3. Incidence of Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA)
To evaluate the immunogenicity of ASKG712 in patients with DME
4. Change From Baseline in BCVA in the Study Eye Over Time
To evaluate the efficacy of ASKG712 in patients with DME

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, multiple-dose-escalation and dose-expansion study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ASKG712 following intravitreal administration in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).
Detailed Description
The Part 1 of study is a multicenter, open-label, sequentially, multiple-dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ASKG712 in patients with DME. Patients will be sequentially enrolled into four different dose-level cohorts following accelerated titration combined with the traditional "3+3" design. The Part 2 of study is a multicenter, open-label, sequentially, dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ASKG712 in patients with DME.
