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.Does drug TNTL can improve visual acuity and reduce the degree of retinopathy?
- 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.Take drug TNTL or a placebo every day for 6 months
- 4.Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests
- 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;

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;
