Zusammenfassung der Studie

We offer patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), who have already participated in the previous study VELODROME WR42221, the opportunity to participate in this extension study. The purpose of this extension study is to find out what positive or negative long-term effects the ocular implant has on patients with wet AMD when it delivers a dose of Ranibizumab. The ocular implant continuously (without interruption) delivers Ranibizumab over a long period into the back of the eye and can be refilled by the study physician. As the implant releases Ranibizumab over time, patients may not need to be treated as frequently. This global extension study is planned to be conducted in approximately 16 countries worldwide. In Switzerland, it is planned to enroll about 20 individuals in a total of 5 study centers. Globally, approximately 1000 individuals are expected to participate in the clinical study at around 120 study centers. Patients will have approximately 23 visits in this clinical study, which may last 2-4 hours. The study will last approximately 3 years in total. The Ranibizumab administered from the ocular implant is considered an investigational product (experimental drug) that is given to patients only in the context of clinical studies. The active ingredient Ranibizumab is, however, the same as that in the drug Lucentis® approved by the Swiss health authority Swissmedic.

Kriterien zur Teilnahme
- Previous enrollment in the study WR42221 (Velodrome) and either not suitable to be randomized into the study WR42221 at week 24 or have completed the study (from the 24-week or 36-week arm). - Ability and willingness to complete all scheduled visits and examinations. - For women of childbearing potential: consent to abstinence (refraining from heterosexual intercourse) or to the use of contraceptive methods, as defined below: Women must remain abstinent during the study, within 3 months after the last intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab and for 1 year after the last implant refill procedure. (BASEC)

Ausschlusskriterien
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding or intention to become pregnant. This applies during the treatment period and for at least 28 days after the last intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab or 1 year after the last implant refill exchange procedure with Ranibizumab. • Women of childbearing potential, including those who have had a tubal ligation, must have a urine pregnancy test performed at the screening visit and at certain later visits. A positive urine pregnancy test must be confirmed by a serum pregnancy test. • History of other eye diseases that raise a justified suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of Ranibizumab, that could affect the interpretation of the study results, or that exposes the patient to a high risk of treatment complications. • History of other diseases, metabolic disorders, or clinical laboratory findings that raise a justified suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of Ranibizumab or the implantation of the implant and that could affect the interpretation of the study results or that exposes the patient to a high risk of treatment complications.
