Study summary

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal administration of Fovista® administered in combination with either Avastin® or Eylea® compared to Avastin® or Eylea® monotherapy in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the following two arms per study design:

  • Fovista® 1.5 mg/eye + Avastin® 1.25 mg/eye or Eylea® 2 mg/eye
  • Fovista® sham + Avastin® 1.25 mg/eye or Eylea® 2 mg/eye

Subjects will be treated for up to 24 months with active Fovista® or sham, in combination with either Avastin® or Eylea® with the primary endpoint at 12 months.

Approximately 622 subjects will be randomized into one of the two treatment groups (311 patients per dose group), and the efficacy analysis will be based on the data from these two groups as per the SAP

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Change in Visual Acuity (Measured at Baseline and at the Month 12 Visit)

    The primary efficacy endpoint is the mean change in visual acuity (ETDRS letters) measured at baseline and at the month 12 visit. Higher ETDRS letters represents higher vision and a higher change in ETDRS letters represents better functioning.

    Time frame: 12 months

Adverse events

Collected over All-Cause Mortality data was collected for up to 2 years, and Adverse events (AEs) were collected for up to 12 months of exposure (Year 1) for the 2 pre-specified treatment groups (E10030 + Bevacizumab or Aflibercept vs. Sham + Bevacizumab or Aflibercept), per the study design and the SAP.. Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.
