A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-masked, Controlled Trial to Establish the Safety and Efficacy of Intravitreous Administration of Fovista® (Anti PDGF-B Pegylated Aptamer) Administered in Combination With Lucentis® Compared to Lucentis® Monotherapy in Subjects With Subfoveal Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration.
A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-masked, Controlled Trial to Establish the Safety and Efficacy of Intravitreous Administration of Fovista® (Anti PDGF-B Pegylated Aptamer) Administered in Combination With Lucentis® Compared to Lucentis® Monotherapy in Subjects With Subfoveal Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal administration of Fovista® administered in combination with Lucentis® compared to Lucentis® monotherapy in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the following dose groups:
Subjects will be treated for a total of 24 months with active Fovista® or sham in combination with Lucentis® with the primary endpoint at 12 months.
Primary Efficacy Endpoint:
The primary efficacy endpoint is the mean change in visual acuity (ETDRS letters) from baseline at the month 12 visit.
Safety Endpoints:
Safety endpoints include adverse events, vital signs, ophthalmic variables [ophthalmic examination, intraocular pressure (IOP), fluorescein angiogram (FA), optical coherence tomography (OCT)], ECG, and laboratory variables.
Approximately 622 subjects will be randomized into one of the two treatment cohorts (311 patients per dose group).
