Diabetic Retinal Disease

A considerable hurdle to the development of novel, more effective therapies for diabetic retinal disease is the limited number of primary endpoints available for use in regulatory trials. Current endpoints necessitate long trial durations and a greater number of participants to show efficacy. Thus, a better understanding of the structural and functional changes in the retina occurring in people with diabetes is essential for developing primary endpoints and validating surrogate and clinical endpoints.
