简要总结

To assess the efficacy of faricimab compared to aflibercept in terms of durability at 32 weeks by extending treatment interval in previous high-frequent aflibercept treated neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

详细描述

There is a subgroup of nAMD patient requiring monthly interventions, when applying as needed and treat-and-extend treatment strategies. A burden for both patient/caregivers and health care systems. More durable treatment options are needed to increase the quality of life for these nAMD patients, as well as to make human resources available for the growing elderly AMD population requiring treatment.

The FAN study is a randomized, double-masked, 2-arm (comparator-controlled), phase-IV, monocenter study with a primary endpoint at 32 weeks. The study is conducted into 2 parts. Patients will receive either aflibercept or faricimab via treat-and-extend principle until the primary endpoint (part 1). As mentioned, the main objective is to assess the durability of both drugs in this particular subgroup of nAMD patients. In part 2 of the study, starting at or after 32 weeks, all patients will receive faricimab via treat-and-extend until the end of the study (56 weeks).
