Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. The BCVA letter score ranges from 0 to 100 (best score), and a gain in BCVA from baseline indicates an improvement in visual acuity. The Mixed Model of Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis included the categorical covariates of treatment arm, visit, visit-by-treatment arm interaction, baseline BCVA (continuous), and randomization stratification factors [baseline BCVA (≤34, 35-54, and ≥55 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)] as fixed effects. An unstructured covariance structure was used. Missing data were implicitly imputed by MMRM model assuming missing at random. Treatment policy strategy (i.e., all observed values used) was applied to all intercurrent events (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.

The NEI VFQ-25 captures a patient's perception of vision-related functioning and vision-related quality of life. The core measure includes 25 items that comprise 11 vision-related subscales and 1 item on general health. The composite score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better vision-related functioning. For the ANCOVA analysis, the model uses the non-missing change from baseline in BCVA at Weeks 24 as the response variables adjusted for the treatment group, baseline NEI VFQ-25 Composite Score (continuous), baseline BCVA score (≥55 and ≤54 letters) and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and the rest of the world).

Intraretinal fluid and subretinal fluid were measured in the study eye using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the central subfield (center 1 mm) by a central reading center. The weighted percentage of participants was estimated based on the Cochran-Mantel Haenszel (CMH) weights stratified by randomization stratification factors [baseline BCVA (≤34, 35-54, and ≥55 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)]. All observed values were used regardless of the occurrence of an intercurrent event (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). Missing assessments were imputed by last observation carried forward. 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.

Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. The BCVA letter score ranges from 0 to 100 (best score), and a gain in BCVA from baseline indicates an improvement in visual acuity. The Mixed Model of Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis included the categorical covariates of treatment arm, visit, visit-by-treatment arm interaction, baseline BCVA (continuous), and randomization stratification factors [baseline BCVA (≤34, 35-54, and ≥55 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)] as fixed effects. An unstructured covariance structure was used. Missing data were implicitly imputed by MMRM model assuming missing at random. Treatment policy strategy (i.e., all observed values used) was applied to all intercurrent events (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.

In Part 2 of the study, participants in both the faricimab Q4W and aflibercept Q4W arms in Part 1 received 6 mg faricimab intravitreal injections administered according to a personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen in intervals between Q4W and Q16W. At faricimab dosing visits, treatment intervals were maintained or adjusted (i.e., increased by 4 weeks or decreased by 4, 8, or 12 weeks), based on central subfield thickness (CST) and BCVA values.

The analysis population included all randomized participants who had not discontinued the study at Week 68 and with available treatment interval information.

Safety-Evaluable Population: All participants randomized in the study who received at least one injection of active study drug in the study eye. For Part 2, the safety analysis included: in Arm A, all participants with Week 24 treatment or dose hold, or if none, follow-up beyond Day 168; in Arm B, all participants who received at least one faricimab dose.

This analysis of adverse events (AEs) only includes ocular AEs that occurred in the study eye. Investigators sought information on AEs at each contact with the participants. All AEs were recorded and the investigator made an assessment of seriousness, severity, and causality of each AE. Ocular AEs of special interest included the following: Suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study drug; Sight-threatening AEs that cause a drop in visual acuity (VA) score ≥30 letters lasting more than 1 hour, require surgical or medical intervention to prevent permanent loss of sight, or are associated with severe intraocular inflammation (IOI).

This analysis of adverse events (AEs) only includes non-ocular (systemic) AEs. Investigators sought information on adverse events (AEs) at each contact with the participants. All AEs were recorded and the investigator made an assessment of seriousness, severity, and causality of each AE. The non-ocular AE of special interest was: Cases of potential drug-induced liver injury that include an elevated ALT or AST in combination with either an elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice, as defined by Hy's Law.

For Part 2, the safety analysis included: in Arm A, all participants with Week 24 treatment or dose hold, or if none, follow-up beyond Day 168; in Arm B, all participants who received at least one faricimab dose.

Pharmacokinetic-Evaluable Population: All safety-evaluable participants randomized to faricimab arm or who received faricimab with at least one plasma sample, provided sufficient dosing information (dose and dosing time) was available. The number analyzed indicates all participants who provided a PK sample at a given timepoint.

Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against fariciamb were detected in plasma using a validated bridging enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The number of participants with treatment-emergent ADA-positive samples includes post-baseline evaluable participants with at least one treatment-induced (defined as having an ADA-negative sample or missing sample at baseline and any positive post-baseline sample) or treatment-boosted (defined as having an ADA-positive sample at baseline and any positive post-baseline sample with a titer that is equal to or greater than 4-fold baseline titer) ADA-positive sample during the study treatment period. Treatment-unaffected ADA-positive is a post-baseline sample with a titer that is lower than 4-fold the ADA-positive baseline titer (faricimab arm) or the ADA-positive titer prior to first faricimab injection (aflibercept arm).

The immunogenicity analysis included all participants with an evaluable ADA sample. At baseline, evaluable participants were those with an ADA sample prior to faricimab injection, including those who did not receive study treatment; post-baseline, evaluable participants were those with an ADA sample after having received at least one dose of faricimab.
