A GLOBAL, MULTICENTER, RANDOMIZED, VISUAL ASSESSOR-MASKED PHASE IIIB STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY, SAFETY, AND PHARMACOKINETICS OF A 36-WEEK REFILL SCHEME FOR THE PORT DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH RANIBIZUMAB IN PATIENTS WITH NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the positive and negative effects of Ranibizumab, administered from an eye implant (also known as the Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab or PDS), in patients with nAMD. In this clinical study, an eye implant filled with a dose of 2 mg of Ranibizumab will be inserted, which is released slowly through the implant. The eye implant will be refilled with Ranibizumab either every 6 months or every 9 months. The eye implant continuously (without interruption) releases Ranibizumab over a long period into the eye and can be refilled by your study doctor. This international clinical study is planned to be conducted in approximately 16 countries worldwide. The study will last about 3 years. In Switzerland, it is planned to enroll about 20 people across a total of 5 study centers. Globally, approximately 450 people are expected to participate in the clinical study across approximately 120 study centers. The Ranibizumab administered from the eye implant is considered an investigational product (experimental drug) administered to patients only within the context of clinical trials. However, the active ingredient Ranibizumab is the same as that in the drug Lucentis® approved by the Swiss health authority Swissmedic. The eye implant is an experimental medical device and is not approved by Swissmedic for implantation in the eye for the treatment of nAMD. The implant is approximately the size of a grain of rice. The eye implant is covered by the thin, transparent conjunctiva of the eye and is usually not visible to others as it is covered by the upper eyelid.

Intervento studiato
Wet AMD (neovascular age-related macular degeneration)
(BASEC)
Malattie studiate
Patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or wet AMD, the initial diagnosis of nAMD must have occurred within 9 months prior to the screening visit
(BASEC)
Patients must meet various inclusion criteria for the study eye at study entry. Below are the three main inclusion criteria, additional inclusion criteria are included in the study protocol: · Initial diagnosis of nAMD (= Neovascular age-related macular degeneration) within 9 months prior to the screening visit · Previous nAMD treatment with at least three intravitreal (= into the vitreous body) anti-VEGF injections (e.g., Ranibizumab, Bevacizumab, Aflibercept) according to the standard of care within 6 months prior to the screening visit (VEGF = Vascular endothelial growth factor = group of proteins that perform various functions as signaling molecules). If a patient has not received at least three anti-VEGF injections as described above but is otherwise eligible for the study, the patient may be treated in a run-in phase prior to screening to meet this specific criterion. · A response to a previous intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment since diagnosis has been observed, which is evidenced by various criteria (criteria included in the study protocol) (BASEC)
Criteri di esclusione
Patients who meet various exclusion criteria will be excluded from participation in the study. Below are the three main exclusion criteria, additional exclusion criteria and examples are included in the study protocol: · Previous eye treatments on the study eye (e.g., vitrectomy = removal of the vitreous body) and/or on both eyes (e.g., previous participation in a clinical study with VEGF medications within 6 months prior to the admission visit) · Comorbidities in the study eye (e.g., cataract = clouding of the lens) and/or in the non-study eye (non-functioning study eye) and/or in both eyes (e.g., active infectious conjunctivitis) · Concurrent systemic diseases (e.g., stroke, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, systemic infection, cancer) (BASEC)
