Citicoline (cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine) is an essential precursor in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a component of cell membranes. Several experimental in vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that citicoline plays a neuroprotective role.
A recent clinical study has shown that treatment with topical citicoline induces, after 60 days of therapy, a significant improvement in the ganglion cell function .In addition topical citicoline has been demonstrated in vivo a neuroprotective effect in preventing diabetic retinopathy .
The Investigators want to evaluate if citicoline may reduce the progression of retinal damage in patients with mild diabetic retinopathy.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Diabetic Retinopathy | Other: OMK2 group Other: Placebo group | Not Applicable |
The investigators evaluated patients with mild signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR) treated with eye-drop solution with citicoline ( OMk2 ophthalmic solution).
All patients was randomized in two groups (10:10), one receiving topical administration of OMk2 ophthalmic solution for 36 months and one group receiving only the excipients of OMk2 (placebo).
Omk2 ophthalmic solution and the placebo will be used for 36 months three times/day.
They will undergo a complete ocular examination at baseline and at 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 30- and 36- months after treatment.
