Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single intravitreous injections,single ascending doses, of RC28-E(a chimeric decoy receptor trap fusion protein by dual blockage of VEGF and FGF-2) in subjects with wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD).

Description:

This is an open-label, non-randomized,double-center phase 1 study evaluating pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of single intravitreal injections of RC28-E in the patients with AMD.RC28-E is recombinant dual decoy receptor IgG1 Fc-fusion protein,can block VEGF-A and FGF-2. In preclinical studies suggested that RC28-E might be more effective in inhibiting pathological angiogenesis than other VEGF antagonists on CNV. Every subject will only accept one dose. In addition to safety and preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of RC28-E will be evaluated as well.
