Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals developed a single-dose glass pre-filled syringe (PFS) to deliver 8 mg aflibercept. The PFS is a convenient device that contains the study medication that will be injected in your study eye. A PFS offers a sterile, single dose of study drug within the syringe; this eliminates the need for the retina specialist to prepare the injection syringe from a separate vial.

This Phase IIIb study is focused on patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

The main aim of the study is to evaluate if the 8 mg aflibercept PFS allows for successful preparation and administration of 8 mg aflibercept by retina specialists. The study will also assess the safety of 8 mg aflibercept PFS use. Regeneron will use the information from the study to better understand if the PFS can be used safely and effectively by retina specialists to administer 8 mg aflibercept.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: 8 mg Dose

Only 1 eye will be selected as the study eye by the investigator. Patients will receive a single dose utilizing the PFS.

Drug: aflibercept 8 mg PFS
Sterile aqueous solution in a single-dose glass PFS administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection
Other Names:
  • EYLEA ®
  • BAY86-5321
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of 8 mg aflibercept injections successfully administered utilizing the PFS [At Day 1]

      Participants received a single dose of study drug, administered in the selected study eye with the PFS by a retina specialist. Physician assessed successful aflibercept preparation and administration with the PFS.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of ocular adverse events (AEs) in the study eye [Through Day 29]

    2. Incidence of ocular severe adverse events (SAEs) in the study eye [Through Day 29]

    Key Inclusion Criteria:
    1. Patient must have diabetic macular edema (DME) or neovascular "wet" age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in the study eye

    2. Study eye considered by the retina specialist to be eligible for treatment with 8 mg aflibercept

    Key Exclusion Criteria:
    1. Any active intraocular inflammation or infection in either eye or history of intraocular inflammation or infection after past IVT injections with any agent in either eye

    2. Treatment with any IVT injection in the study eye within the 25 days prior to day 1

    3. Intraocular pressure (IOP) >25 mm Hg in the study eye at screening

    4. Any intraocular surgery in the study eye at any time during the past 3 months
