Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2a Study to Establish the Safety and Tolerability of Zimura® (Anti-C5 Aptamer) in Combination With Anti-VEGF Therapy in Subjects With Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (IPCV)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Zimura™ intravitreous injection in combination with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in subjects with Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (IPCV).

Clinical Trial Description

Treatment experienced (Prior treatment with anti-VEGF monotherapy of ≥8 injections in the previous twelve (12) months) subjects of either gender aged 50 years or above with a diagnosis of IPCV, will receive 3 monthly (Q4W) intravitreal injections of Zimura™ (1 mg/eye) in combination with anti-VEGF therapy (Avastin® 1.25 mg/eye or Lucentis® 0.5 mg/eye or Eylea® 2 mg/eye).

Safety endpoints include visual acuity loss (proportion of subjects with >15 letter loss at Month 3), ophthalmic adverse events (AEs), systemic adverse events (AEs), change in total retinal thickness (SD-OCT) at Month 3, regression and/or elimination of polyps at Month 3 compared to screening as measured by indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and laboratory values. ;
