Study summary

This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study conducted in two parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GenSci148 administered via intravitreal (IVT) injection in participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Part 1 evaluates single ascending doses in nAMD participants. Part 2 evaluates multiple doses in nAMD, DME, and RVO participants. The study also assesses immunogenicity and explores preliminary efficacy.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study conducted in 2 parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD profiles, and immunogenicity, as well as the preliminary efficacy of intravitreal injection of GenSci148 in participants with nAMD, DME and RVO.

Part 1 (Single Ascending Dose, SAD): Conducted in participants with nAMD. Four dose levels (1 mg/eye, 3 mg/eye, 7 mg/eye, and 10 mg/eye) are planned, administered via a single IVT injection. Dose escalation is determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) based on safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and other available data.

Part 2 (Multiple Ascending Dose, MAD): Conducted in participants with nAMD, DME, and RVO. Three dose levels (low, medium, and high) are planned. Participants will receive multiple IVT injections according to the study schedule. Disease activity assessment will be performed during follow-up, and participants meeting retreatment criteria may receive additional doses of GenSci148.

Safety assessments include adverse events, physical examinations, laboratory tests, vital signs, ECG, and ophthalmic examinations (BCVA, IOP, slit-lamp examination, , etc.). PK/PD and immunogenicity samples are collected at predefined time points.

Inclusion criteria

  • Able to understand the study and provide written prior to any study-related procedures.
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, and study procedures.
  • Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 24 to 78 letters (inclusive) in the study eye, and BCVA ≥ 24 letters in the fellow eye.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior or current ophthalmic treatments in study or fellow eye per protocol.
  • Refractive error > ±8.0 diopters in the study eye.
  • Anterior segment neovascularization or vitreous hemorrhage in the study eye.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    GenSci148 Intravitreal Injection

    Participants receive intravitreal injections of GenSci148 at escalating dose levels. Part 1: single ascending dose (1 mg, 3 mg, 7 mg, 10 mg per eye). Part 2: multiple ascending doses in nAMD, DME, and RVO participants.

    Drug: GenSci148 Injection

Interventions
