Trial summary

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common eye condition caused by diabetes, where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the back part of the eye (called the retina). Over time, this damage can lead to vision problems and even blindness if not treated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Operationally Seamless Phase 2b/3, Multicenter, Randomized, Masked, Sham-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Surabgene Lomparvovec (Sura-vec) Delivered Via Suprachoroidal Space (SCS) Injection Targeting Subjects With Diabetic Retinopathy Without Center Involved-Diabetic Macular Edema (CI-DME) (NAAVIGATE)

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common eye condition caused by diabetes, where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the back part of the eye (called the retina). Over time, this damage can lead to vision problems and even blindness if not treated. This study will assess surabgene lomparvovec (sura-vec) as a potential one-time gene therapy administered in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and prevention of vision-threatening events (VTEs) in participants with non-proliferative DR (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME).

This study will consist of 3 portions: a Phase 2b portion, a Phase 3 portion, and a bilateral treatment portion. Approximately 576 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across multiple sites in the United States and Puerto Rico.

In the Phase 2b and Phase 3 portions, participants will be randomized to different groups to receive sura-vec and prophylactic steroids or sham and artificial tears in their study eye. If assigned to sham, participants will be given an opportunity to cross over and receive treatment with sura-vec. In the bilateral treatment portion, participants will be enrolled to receive sura-vec and prophylactic steroids in both eyes. In all 3 portions, follow-up in the study will continue through 5 years following administration of sura-vec in each eye.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Surabgene Lomparvovec, Topical Steroid and Artificial Tears in people with Diabetic Retinopathy, run by AbbVie at 40 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact ABBVIE CALL CENTER (844-663-3742, abbvieclinicaltrials@abbvie.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase 2B: Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 2-Step Improvement from Baseline in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) in the Study Eye (time frame: At Week 52). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
