Shanghai, June 2, 2026 — Beyang Therapeutics Co., Ltd. today announced the initiation meeting for the Phase Ib clinical trial of its self-developed innovative small-molecule ophthalmic solution, BT01001, was successfully held recently at Shanghai General Hospital. The meeting brought together Principal Investigators (PIs) Dr. Kun Liu and Dr. Xueying Ding, along with core members from both ophthalmology research teams, to conduct an in-depth discussion and deployment regarding the trial protocol, execution details, and quality control standards.
The newly initiated Phase Ib clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of BT01001 eye drops in patients with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME). The study features a 12-week treatment period and aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of BT01001 in the treatment of DME through rigorous clinical design.
