Safety and Efficacy of RRG001 Gene Therapy in Subjects With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)

A Phase I/IIa, Dose-escalation and Dose-extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Single Subretinal Injection of RRG001 in Subjects With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

A Phase I/IIa, Dose-escalation and Dose-expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Single Subretinal Injection of RRG001 in Subjects With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

This study adopts a multicenter, single-arm, open-label phase I/IIa seamless study design and comprises two stages, i.e., phase I 3+3 dose escalation study and a phase IIa dose expansion study. Four dose groups are preset for the phase I dose escalation study; 3-6 subjects will be enrolled for each dose group, and it is planned to enroll 12-24 subjects. The phase IIa dose expansion study will be conducted successively at the doses after safety assessments of dose 2 and/or dose 3 in phase I are completed. Twelve subjects are expected to be enrolled for each dose group, with a total of 24 subjects will be enrolled overall. The sponsor will assess whether or not to adjust the dose(s) and sample size for the exploration study based on the results in the phase I exploration study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects that are willing and able to follow study procedures.
• Patinets ≥50 years old.

• Responding to anti-VEGF

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of any other eye diseases other than nAMD in study eye that would affect the treatment or confusing the interpretation of the study results , as judged by the investigator.
• CNV or macular edema in the study eye secondary to any causes other than AMD.
• Uncontrolled glaucoma.
• Uncontrolled hypertension despite medication.
• Pregnant or lactating women or individuals with reproductive potential who are unwilling to take effective contraception during the study period.
