Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A multicenter study of randomized, double-blind, and parallel control of positive drugs was conducted using a non-inferior design. Eligible neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (w-AMD) subjects were screened into a trial group and a control group, with the test group receiving BAT5906 injection and the control group treated with Lucentis®.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

A multicenter study of randomized, double-blind, and parallel control of positive drugs was conducted using a non-inferior design. 488 neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (w-AMD) subjects were selected, and the qualified subjects were selected in a 1:1 ratio divided into experimental and control groups, and the baseline period letter values and whether the study eye had received anti-VEGF drug treatment were randomized in stratification, the experimental group received BAT5906 injection and the control group received Lucentis®. Only 1 eye per participant was selected for this study.

The dosing regimen is: 4 mg of BAT5906 or 0.5 mg of Lucentis® intravitreally every 4 weeks, the treatment period during the study period is 48 weeks, a total of 13 doses, the last follow-up at week 52, the last visit without treatment, only effectiveness, safety assessment, and blood samples are collected as required.

During the test, the subjects are subjected to eye examination, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests for effectiveness and safety assessment according to the test procedure specified in the program, and blood samples are collected to detect immunogenicity indicators. The ETDRS eye chart was used to evaluate the change in the best corrected vision from baseline to baseline, with the main efficacy index being the change in the target eye's optimal corrected vision (BCVA) from baseline at 52 weeks, and the secondary efficacy measures being the baseline change in the target eye's optimal corrected vision (BCVA) at 12, 24, 36 weeks, and 48 weeks, and the change in macular fovea thickness (CRT) from baseline.

Blood samples are taken at the time point specified in the protocol, the serum antibiotic antibodies (ADA) are detected, and the samples that confirm positive ADA are subjected to titer analysis and neutralizing antibody (Nab) analysis.
