Participant Flow

A study evaluated safety and tolerability of 12-week treatment of oral BI 1467335 compared to placebo in patients with moderately severe to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy without center-involved diabetic macular edema and explored the efficacy of BI 1467335 on improvement of diabetic retinopathy.

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: On-treatment period: from first dose of study drug until end of follow-up period, up to 24 weeks.

Population: Treated set (TS): the TS consists of all patients who were treated with at least one dose of trial drug (BI 1467335 or placebo).

Percentage of participants with any ocular adverse events over the on-treatment period was reported.

23.1 Percentage of participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and at Week 12.

Population: Full analysis set (FAS): the FAS consists of all the patients who were randomized, treated with at least one dose of BI 1467335/placebo and have baseline and one on-treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale assessment. Only patients with non-missing endpoint results were included in the analysis.

7-field or modified 4-field digital fundus photographs was obtained from both eyes by a qualified person according to the imaging manual to collect all data for the assessment of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS). The images was sent to the independent central reading center who performs the grading on the basis of the DRSS. The DRSS ranges from level 10 (Diabetic retinopathy absent) to level 85 (advanced proliferative Diabetic retinopathy).
