To evaluate the safety and tolerability of KSI-301 5 mg compared to aflibercept 2 mg.
To assess the systemic pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of KSI-301. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Treatment-naïve macular edema and visual impairment of ≤ 6 months secondary to CRVO or BRVO. Participants with HRVO will also be considered eligible for this study and will be included as a CRVO. Eyes classified as having CRVO or HRVO will comprise at least 20% and not more than 35% of the total planned sample size.
2. BCVA ETDRS letter score ≤ 80 and ≥ 25 (20/25 to 20/320 Snellen equivalent) in the Study Eye at Screening and confirmed at Day 1.
3. CST of ≥ 320 microns on SD-OCT (Heidelberg Spectralis or equivalent on other OCT instruments) as determined by the Reading Center at the screening visit.
4. Decrease in vision in the Study Eye determined by the Investigator to be primarily the result of ME secondary to RVO.
In cases where both eyes are eligible, the eye with the worse BCVA at the Screening Visit will be selected as the Study Eye. If both eyes are eligible and have the same BCVA, the decision of which eye to select as the Study Eye will be made by the Investigator. Only one eye per participant can be included in the study.
5. Capable of giving signed informed consent
6. Male or female ≥ 18 years of age.
7. For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain as abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of <1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study intervention.
8. For men: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures and agreement to refrain from donating sperm.
9. Ability and willingness to undertake all the scheduled visits and assessments. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Macular edema in the Study Eye considered to be secondary to a cause other than RVO (e.g. diabetic macular edema, Irvine-Gass syndrome).
2. Active iris or angle neovascularization, neovascular glaucoma, neovascularization of the optic disc, retinal neovascularization or vitreous hemorrhage in the Study Eye.
3. Uncontrolled glaucoma (defined as intraocular pressure ≥ 25 mmHg despite treatment with antiglaucoma medication) in the Study Eye.
4. History of glaucoma-filtering surgery in the Study Eye.
5.History of retinal detachment or treatment or surgery for retinal detachment in the Study Eye.
6. History of uveitis in either eye.
7. Significant media opacities, including cataract, in the Study Eye that might interfere with visual acuity, assessment of safety, optical coherence tomography or fundus photography.
8. Cataract in the Study Eye that in the judgment of the Investigator is expected to require surgical extraction within 6 months of screening.
9. Prior vitrectomy in the Study Eye.
10. Active retinal disease other than the condition under investigation in the Study Eye.
11. Any history or evidence of a concurrent ocular condition present, that in the opinion of the Investigator could require either medical or surgical intervention or affect macular edema or alter visual acuity during the study (e.g. vitreomacular traction).
12. Active or suspected ocular or periocular infection or inflammation in either eye at Day 1.
13. Any prior use of an approved or investigational treatment for macular edema secondary to RVO in the Study Eye (e.g. anti-VEGF, intraocular or periocular steroids, macular laser photocoagulation).
14. Women who are pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant during the study.
15. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result within 28 days prior to Day 1. If the urine pregnancy test is positive, it must be confirmed with a serum pregnancy test.
16. Uncontrolled blood pressure defined as a systolic value ≥ 180 mmHg or diastolic value ≥100 mmHg while at rest at Screening or on Day 1. If a participant’s initial blood pressure measurement exceeds these values, a second reading may be taken later the same day or a different day during the screening period. If the participant’s blood pressure is controlled by antihypertensive medications, the participant should be on a stable medication regimen continuously for 30 days prior to Day 1.
17. Recent history (within the 6 months prior to screening) of myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack, acute congestive heart failure or any acute coronary event.
18. History of a medical condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would preclude scheduled study visits, completion of the study, or a safe administration of investigational product.
19. History of hypersensitivity to any component of KSI-301, aflibercept, ophthalmic dye (fluorescein), dilating drops, or any of the anesthetic or antimicrobial preparations used during the study, as assessed by the Investigator.
20. Participation in an investigational study within 30 days prior to the screening visit that involved treatment with any drug (excluding vitamins and minerals) or devices. |
