NCT06817265

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug TNTL works to treat non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy in adults. It will also learn about the safety of drug TNTL. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.Does drug TNTL can improve visual acuity and reduce the degree of retinopathy?
  2. 2.What medical problems do participants have when taking drug TNTL? Researchers will compare drug TNTL to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if drug TNTL works to treat non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
  3. 3.Take drug TNTL or a placebo every day for 6 months
  4. 4.Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests
  5. 5.Keep a diary of their symptoms and Change from baseline

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline after 24 weeks of medication;

    After 24 weeks of medication, the subjects' best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was checked and compared with the value measured at week 0 to observe the degree of change from baseline value;

    From enrollment to the end of treatment at 24 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline after medication

    From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks,8weeks,12weeks,16weeks,20weeks

  • The change and progression rate of ETDRS classification DR Classification from baseline after 12 and 24 weeks of medication;

    From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12weeks and 24weeks.

  • The proportion of subjects whose best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)increased by ≥ 5, ≥ 10, ≥ 15 compared to baseline after medication;

    From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4,8,12,16,20, and 24 weeks

  • The proportion of subjects whose best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) decreased by ≥ 5, ≥ 10, ≥ 15 compared to baseline after medication

    From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4,8,12,16,20, and 24 weeks
