VEGF Trap-Eye: Investigation of efficacy and safety in Chinese Subjects with Wet AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration)

Trial purpose

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of intravitreally (IVT), i.e. directly into the eye administered VEGF Trap-Eye compared with photodynamic therapy (PDT) on visual function in Chinese subjects with age-related neovascular or “wet” age-related macular degeneration.
Subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to either receive VEGF Trap-Eye or PDT. Both treatment groups will receive the other treatment as a sham procedure.

Key Participants Requirements

Sex

Both

Age

50 - N/A
  • - Signed and dated informed consent form
    - Men and women ≥ 50 years of age.
    - Active predominantly classic subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions secondary to wAMD (wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration)
    - BCVA (best corrected visual acuity) of 20/40 to 20/320 in the study eye
  • - Only one functional eye
    - Presence of CNV with an origin other than wAMD
    - Any prior ocular or systemic treatment or surgery for wAMD, except dietary supplements or vitamins
