E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Ocular-specific inclusion criteria apply to the study eye only. 1. Participated in APL2-103 (NCT03777332) or completed the treatment at Month 24 of either APL2-303 (Derby, NCT03525613) or APL2-304 (Oaks, NCT03525600). Specifically, for the APL2-303 and APL2-304 studies, the following criterion also applies: a. Subjects who did not permanently discontinue treatment but missed the Month 24 visit are also eligible to participate in this extension study; however, to be eligible, these subjects must be screened within 60 daysfrom the last day of the expected Month 24 visit window for the antecedent study. 2. Clarity of ocular media, adequate pupillary dilation, and fixation to permit the collection of good quality images as determined by the investigator. 3. Female subjects must be: a. Women of nonchildbearing potential, or b. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) with a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and must agree to use protocol defined methods of contraception for the duration of the study and 90 days after their last dose of pegcetacoplan, and refrain from breastfeeding for the duration of the study. 4. Males with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use protocol defined methods of contraception and agree to refrain from donating sperm for the duration of the study and for 90 days after their last dose of pegcetacoplan. 5. Willing and able to give informed consent and to comply with the study procedures and assessments. |
I criteri di inclusione oculari specifici si applicano solo all'occhio in studio. 1. Partecipazione ad APL2-103 (NCT03777332) o completamento del trattamento al Mese 24 di APL2-303 (Derby, NCT03525613) o APL2-304 (Oaks, NCT03525600). Nello specifico, per gli studi APL2-303 e APL2-304, si applica anche il seguente criterio: a. Sono idonei a partecipare a questo studio di estensione anche i soggetti che non hanno interrotto definitivamente il trattamento, ma non hanno partecipato alla visita al Mese 24; tuttavia, per essere idonei, questi soggetti devono essere sottoposti a screening entro 60 giorni dall'ultimo giorno della finestra della visita al Mese 24 prevista per lo studio precedente. 2. Adeguata trasparenza dei mezzi oculari, adeguata midriasi e fissazione tali da permettere l'acquisizione di immagini di buona qualità in base al giudizio dello sperimentatore. 3. I soggetti di sesso femminile devono essere: a. Donne in età non fertile oppure b. Donne in età fertile con un test di gravidanza sul siero negativo allo screening che devono accettare di utilizzare i metodi contraccettivi definiti dal protocollo per tutta la durata dello studio e fino a 90 giorni dopo l'ultima dose di pegcetacoplan e di astenersi dall'allattamento per tutta la durata dello studio. 4. Gli uomini con partner di sesso femminile in età fertile devono accettare di usare i metodi contraccettivi definiti dal protocollo e di non donare sperma per l'intera durata dello studio e fino a 90 giorni dopo l'ultima dose di pegcetacoplan. 5. Disposti e in grado di fornire il consenso informato scritto e di rispettare le procedure e le valutazioni dello studio. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Ocular-specific exclusion criteria apply to the study eye only. 1. Subjects who permanently discontinued the study drug prior to Month 24 in the APL2-304 or APL2-304 studies and only for safety assessments. Temporary pause of the study drug is not exclusionary. 2. Presence of an active ocular disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, compromises or confounds visual function, including, but not limited to, macular hole or other macular diseases (eg, clinically significant epiretinal membrane). Benign conditions in the opinion of the investigator such as peripheral retinal dystrophy are not exclusionary. 3. Any contraindication to IVT injection including current ocular or periocular infection. 4. Medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically significant and not suitable for study participation or make consistent follow-up over the 36-month treatment period unlikely. 5. Known hypersensitivity to fluorescein sodium for injection or hypersensitivity to pegcetacoplan or any of the excipients in pegcetacoplan solution. 6. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or positive pregnancy test. |
I criteri di esclusione oculari specifici si applicano solo all'occhio in studio, salvo diversamente specificato. 1. I soggetti che hanno interrotto definitivamente il farmaco dello studio prima del Mese 24 negli studi APL2-303 o APL2-304 e sono rimasti solo per le valutazioni di sicurezza. La sospensione temporanea del farmaco in studio non è motivo di esclusione. 2. Presenza di una patologia oftalmica attiva che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, compromette o confonde la funzione visiva, inclusi, a titolo esemplificativo ma non esaustivo, foro maculare o altre malattie maculari (ad es., membrana epiretinica clinicamente significativa). Le condizioni benigne secondo lo sperimentatore, come la distrofia retinica periferica, non sono motivo di esclusione. 3. Eventuali controindicazioni all'iniezione IVT, inclusa infezione oculare o perioculare attiva. 4. Condizioni mediche o psichiatriche che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, sono clinicamente significative e non compatibili con la partecipazione allo studio o che renderebbero improbabile il regolare svolgimento delle attività di follow-up nei 36 mesi di trattamento. 5. Ipersensibilità nota a fluoresceina sodica iniettabile o ipersensibilità a pegcetacoplan o a uno qualsiasi degli eccipienti della soluzione di pegcetacoplan. 6. Gravidanza, allattamento o test di gravidanza positivo. |
