Wet macular degeneration

Japanese Treat and Extend study of Aflibercept in Neovascular age-related Macular Degeneration

Trial purpose

To assess the efficacy of intravitreal (IVT) administration of aflibercept with two different approaches of Treat and Extend dosing regimens in Japanese subjects with neovascular (wet) Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) .
To assess the safety of IVT administration of aflibercept with two different approaches of Treat and Extend dosing regimen in Japanese subjects with wAMD for up to 2 years.

Key Participants Requirements

Sex

Both

Age

50 - N/A
  • - Japanese men and women ≥ 50 years of age
    - Active primary subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions secondary to wAMD, including juxta-foveal lesions that affect the fovea as evidenced by fluorescein angiography (FA) in the study eye
    - Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 73 to 25 letters (approximately 20/40 to 20/320 at Snellen equivalent) in the study eye

  • - Prior treatment of the study eye with intraocular anti-VEGF(Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) agents, verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT), other laser, intraocular corticosteroids, surgical interventions (except cataract surgery more than 30 days prior to screening) or systemic use of anti-VEGF products within 3 months prior to study entry
    - Active or suspected infection in or surrounding of the study eye
    - Active severe intraocular inflammation in the study eye
    - Intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥ 25 mmHg in the study eye
    - Ocular condition in the study eye which may impact vision and confound study outcomes

Primary Outcome

  • Mean change from baseline in BCVA at Week 52
    Visual functions of the study eye (at every visit) and the fellow eye were assessed, according to the ETDRS protocol as described in detail in the operation manual. A higher score represents better functioning.

Secondary Outcome

  • Percentage of participants who maintained vision at Week 52
    A participant was classified as maintaining vision if the participant had lost fewer than 15 letters in the ETDRS letter score compared to baseline.
