E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To evaluate the ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of FCFD4514S administered ITV monthly or every other month
• To investigate evidence of activity with an anatomic outcome of FCFD4514S administered ITV monthly or every other month compared with sham control |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To assess best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) on the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at starting distance of 4 meters following ITV FCFD4514S administered monthly or every other month compared with sham control
• To characterize systemic immunogenicity of FCFD4514S following multiple ITV doses of FCFD4514S
• To characterize the serum pharmacokinetics of FCFD4514S following multiple ITV doses of FCFD4514S |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
•Willingness and ability to provide signed Informed Consent; in addition, at U.S. sites, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization, in other countries, as applicable according to national laws

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
•History of vitrectomy surgery, submacular surgery, or other surgical intervention for AMD in the study eye
•Previous subfoveal focal laser photocoagulation in the study eye

•Prior treatment with Visudyne, external-beam radiation therapy, or transpupillary thermotherapy in the study eye
•GA in either eye due to causes other than AMD
•Diabetic retinopathy in either eye
•Active or history of wet AMD in either eye
•History of other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use an investigational drug or that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or that renders the patient at high risk for treatment complications
•Active malignancy or history of malignancy within the past 5 years
•Previous participation in any studies of investigational drugs within 3 months preceding Day 0 |
