Home versus hospital care for diabetic eye swelling
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether receiving anti-VEGF injections for diabetic macular edema (DME) at home is as safe and effective as getting them in the hospital. You would use a home device to check your vision and eye scans, and a nurse would visit for injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- You can get to the hospital within 2 hours from home.
- You are willing to use a home vision tester and an eye scanner (OCT) after training.
- At least one eye has swelling from diabetes (DME) and vision between 20/32 and 20/320.
- Your eye has not had many anti-VEGF injections in the past year.
- You do not have other eye diseases that could affect vision, like glaucoma or cataract needing surgery soon.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different eye injection treatments for diabetic macular edema (DME)—a condition where fluid builds up in the center of the retina, blurring vision. Researchers want to see how certain measures in the blood and in eye scans relate to how well each treatment works.
This Phase 3 study compares a new eye injection (RC28-E) with the standard treatment (aflibercept) for diabetic macular edema, which is swelling in the central retina that affects vision. It aims to see whether the new treatment works as well and is safe.
This Phase 1 study tests the safety and early effectiveness of OCU200 eye injections in people with diabetic macular edema (DME) that affects the center of vision. It may help by reducing the eye swelling that blurs vision from diabetes.
This trial compares a new treatment (EYP-1901, given as an injection) to a standard injection (aflibercept) for people with diabetic macular edema. It aims to see which works better at reducing swelling and improving vision.
This trial compares a minimally invasive eye procedure (vitrectomy with peeling) versus anti-VEGF injections to treat new diabetic macular edema in people who have not had treatment yet. It looks at which option improves vision and eye swelling for people with diabetes.
This study tests whether a new drug (AVT29) is as safe and effective as the standard treatment Eylea HD for people with diabetic macular edema (DME) — a condition where fluid builds up in the back of the eye due to diabetes. If you have vision loss from DME and haven't had anti-VEGF injections before, you may be able to join.
