About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Diabetic Retinopathy focused on measuring CCR3 inhibition, Diabetic Retinopathy, Oral Treatment

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥ 18 years.
  2. Type 1 or type 2 DM.
  3. BCVA ETDRS visual acuity letter score≥ 69 letters at Screening.
  4. Moderately severe NPDR (DRSS Level 47) to severe NPDR (DRSS Level 53).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Evidence of neovascularization (NV) (including active iris or angle NV) requiring treatment, per investigator discretion.
  2. PRP or grid laser within 1000 microns of the foveal center.
  3. CI-DME on clinical examination (CI is defined as DME within 1,000 microns of the foveal center).
  4. Prior Intraocular of periocular steroid Injection
  5. Systemic anti-VEGF or pro-VEGF treatment within 4 months prior to enrollment and assignment to a randomized treatment.
  6. History of vitreoretinal surgery.
  7. History of major ocular surgery (including cataract extraction, scleral buckle, any intraocular surgery, etc.) within prior 4 months or anticipated within the next 6 months following randomization.
  8. History of DME or DR treatment with laser or intraocular injections of medication.
  9. Medical history or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study.
  10. Clinically relevant abnormal laboratory value at Screening, including hematology, blood chemistry, or urinalysis (laboratory testing may be repeated once during the Screening phase).
  11. Malignancy for which the participant has undergone resection, radiation, or chemotherapy within the past 5 years (treated basal cell carcinoma or fully cured squamous cell carcinoma are allowed).
  12. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial; prior clinical trial participants must have been off study agents for at least 30 days for small molecules, 4 months for disease modifying therapies, and 1 year for vaccine or immunotherapy trials prior to Screening.

AKST4290

Placebo

Arm Description

Subjects will receive AKST4290, 400mg twice daily, for 24 weeks

Subjects will receive matching Placebo, twice daily, for 24 weeks

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To investigate the efficacy of AKST4290 assessed by the improvement in the DRSS score from baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

To investigate additional measures of efficacy of AKST4290 assessed by the improvement in the DRSS score from baseline.
To assess the proportion of participants progressing to (or worsening of) CI-DME, PDR, and/or anterior-segment neovascularization (ASNV).
To assess the time to event of CI-DME, PDR, and/or ASNV requiring treatment.
To assess the overall safety of AKST4290 assessed by the incidence and intenisty of adverse events.
To assess the effect of AKST4290 on diabetic kidney disease as assessed by changes in clinical laboratory values such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR).
To evaluate the changes from Baseline in the Workplace Productivity and Activity Impairment General Health (WPAI-GH) questionnaire. WPAI outcomes are expressed as percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Oral AKST4290 in Participants with Moderately Severe to Severe Diabetic Retinopathy (CAPRI).
Detailed Description
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of AKST4290 administered at a total daily dose (TDD) of 800 mg daily (400 mg twice daily [b.i.d.]) compared with placebo over a 24-week dosing period in participants with moderately severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy to severe NPDR. Participants will be enrolled and allocated to 1 of 2 treatment arms in a 2:1 randomization scheme (AKST4290: placebo). Participants will receive treatment for a total of 24 weeks with either AKST4290 800 mg daily (400 mg b.i.d.) in Arm 1 or placebo (matching tablets) in Arm 2
