Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and durability of single- and repeat administration of AR-14034 Sustained Release (SR) in subjects with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Detailed Description

This study will be conducted in two stages. Stage 1 is a 48-week, dose-escalation, open-label evaluation of AR-14034 SR. Two cohorts will be enrolled, for an approximate total of 10 subjects. Subjects will receive AR-14034 SR in one of two dose levels and attend visits through Week 48 for assessment of safety and preliminary treatment effects.

Stage 2 is a 56-week (plus extension) double-masked, active comparator, randomized, parallel group evaluation of AR-14034 SR compared with aflibercept. Approximately 130 subjects will be enrolled and randomized 2:2:1 to AR-14034 SR one injection, AR-14034 SR two injections, or aflibercept dosed as labelled. Subjects will attend visits through Week 56 for assessment of safety and treatment effects. A 16-week open label extension phase will be conducted thereafter.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean change from baseline in ETDRS BCVA at the average across two visits, Weeks 44 and 48 (Stage 2)Baseline, Week 44, Week 48

Visual acuity will be measured after manifest refraction using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter charts in a 4-meter lane under standard illumination. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) will be recorded as the number of letters read correctly. The difference between the average across Weeks 44 and 48, and the baseline visit will be reported. One eye (study eye) will contribute to the analysis.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean change from baseline in ETDRS BCVA by visit (Stage 2)Baseline to Week 56

Visual acuity will be measured after manifest refraction using ETDRS letter charts in a 4-meter lane under standard illumination. BCVA will be recorded as the number of letters read correctly. The difference between a given post-baseline visit and the baseline visit will be reported. One eye (study eye) will contribute to the analysis.

Mean change from baseline in Central Subfield Thickness (CST) by visit (Stage 2)Baseline to Week 56

Central subfield thickness (CST) will be assessed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging and measured in micrometers. The difference between a given post-baseline visit and the baseline visit will be reported. One eye (study eye) will contribute to the analysis.
