E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Ophthalmic Inclusion Criteria
The following inclusion criteria apply to the study eye (SE):
- Non-foveal GA secondary to dry AMD.
- The atrophic lesion must be able to be photographed in its entirety.
- Best corrected visual acuity in the SE between 20/25 – 20/320, inclusive.
General Inclusion Criteria
- Patients of either gender aged ≥ 50 years.
- Women must be using two forms of effective contraception, be postmenopausal for at least 12 months prior to trial entry, or surgically sterile; if of child-bearing potential, a serum pregnancy test must be performed within 14 days prior to the first injection with a negative result. The two forms of effective contraception must be implemented during the trial and for at least 60 days following the last dose of test medication.
- Provide written informed consent.
- Ability to return for all trial visits. |
Criterios de inclusión oftalmológicos:
Los siguientes criterios de inclusión corresponden al ojo en estudio (OE):
-AG no foveal secundaria a DMAE seca.
-La lesión atrófica debe poder fotografiarse en su totalidad.
-Mejor agudeza visual corregida en el OE entre 20/25-20/320, inclusive
Criterios generales de inclusión:
-Pacientes de ambos sexos de ≥50 años de edad.
-Las mujeres deben utilizar dos métodos anticonceptivos eficaces, encontrarse en la etapa posmenopáusica al menos en los 12 meses previos a la inclusión en el ensayo clínico o ser estériles quirúrgicamente. En caso de encontrarse en edad fértil, debe obtenerse un resultado negativo en una prueba de embarazo en suero realizada en los 14 días previos a la primera inyección. Los dos métodos anticonceptivos eficaces tienen que utilizarse durante la participación en el ensayo clínico y, como mínimo, durante los 60 días posteriores a la última dosis de la medicación en estudio
-Dar consentimiento informado por escrito.
-Capacidad para acudir a todas las visitas del estudio durante los 24 meses de duración del estudio. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients will not be eligible for the trial if patients cannot attend all trial required visits, or if any of the following criteria are present systemically or in the SE:
Ophthalmic Exclusion Criteria
The following exclusion criteria apply to the SE:
Evidence of CNV in either eye.
- Any prior treatment for AMD (dry or wet) or any prior intravitreal treatment for any indication in either eye, except oral supplements of vitamins and minerals.
- Any ocular condition in the SE that would progress during the course of the study that could affect central vision or otherwise be a confounding factor.
- Presence of other causes of choroidal neovascularization
- Any intraocular surgery or thermal laser within 3 months of trial entry. Any prior thermal laser in the macular region, regardless of indication.
- Any ocular or periocular infection (including blepharitis), or ocular surface inflammation in the past 12 weeks.
- Any sign of diabetic retinopathy in either eye. |
Los pacientes no serán aptos para el ensayo si no pueden asistir a todas las visitas requeridas del ensayo o si alguno de los siguientes criterios está presente sistémicamente o en el OE:
Criterios de exclusión oftalmológicos
Los siguientes criterios de exclusión se aplican al OE:
-Indicios de neovascularización coroidea (NVC) en cualquier ojo.
-Cualquier tratamiento previo para la DMAE (seca o húmeda) o cualquier tratamiento intravítreo previo para cualquier indicación en cualquiera de los ojos, excepto complementos orales de vitaminas y minerales.
-Cualquier afección ocular en el OE que progrese durante el transcurso del estudio que podría afectar a la visión central o suponer un factor de confusión.
-Presencia de otras causas de neovascularización coroidea
-Cualquier intervención quirúrgica intraocular o procedimiento con láser térmico en los 3 meses previos a la inclusión en el estudio. Cualquier procedimiento previo con láser térmico en la región macular, con independencia de la indicación.
-Cualquier infección ocular o periocular (incluida blefaritis) o inflamación de la superficie ocular en las 12 semanas anteriores.
-Cualquier signo de retinopatía diabética en cualquier ojo. |
