Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to laser in patients diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the need for a second treatment modality, to assess the recurrence of ROP in the study and to assess the safety and tolerability of aflibercept.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Aflibercept Group

Patients will receive a single intravitreal (IVT) injection per eligible eye at baseline.

Drug: aflibercept
Administered IVT
Other Names:
  • EYLEA®
  • REGN3
  • VEGF trap-eye
  • BAY86-5321
  • Experimental: Laser Group

    Patients will undergo laser treatment in each eligible eye at baseline.

    Procedure: laser photocoagulation
    Transpupillary conventional laser will be administered according to standard local procedures.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Proportion of patients with absence of active retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and of unfavorable structural outcomes [At Week 52 of chronological age]

      For patients with both eyes enrolled in the study, both eyes must meet the endpoint.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Proportion of patients requiring intervention with a second treatment modality [Baseline to Week 52 of chronological age]

    2. Proportion of patients with recurrence of ROP [Through Week 52 of chronological age]

    3. Proportion of patients with ocular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [Baseline to Week 52 of chronological age]

    4. Proportion of patients with systematic TEAEs and SAEs [Baseline to Week 52 of chronological age]
