- Registration Number
- NCT02510794
- Lead Sponsor
- Genentech, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is a Phase II multicenter, dose-ranging, randomized, active treatment (monthly ITV injection)-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of ranibizumab delivered through the Implant using three ranibizumab formulation arms (10 mg/mL, 40 mg/mL, and 100 mg/mL) compared with the control arm (0.5-mg monthly ITV injections of 10-mg/mL formulation) in participants with subfoveal neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Group Intervention Description Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab 10mg/mL Ranibizumab Participants had the Implant (prefilled with approximately 20 μL of 10-mg/mL ,approximately 0.2 mg dose, of ranibizumab) surgically inserted in the study eye at the Day 1 visit following their randomization visit. Starting at the Month 1 visit, participants were evaluated monthly for the need for Implant refill with the 10-mg/mL formulation of ranibizumab according to their randomization as per protocol-specified refill criteria. Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab 40mg/mL Ranibizumab Participants had the Implant (prefilled with approximately 20 μL of 40-mg/mL, approximately 0.8 mg dose, of ranibizumab) surgically inserted in the study eye at the Day 1 visit following their randomization visit. Starting at the Month 1 visit, participants were evaluated monthly for the need for Implant refill with the 40-mg/mL formulation of ranibizumab according to their randomization as per protocol-specified refill criteria. Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab 100mg/mL Ranibizumab Participants had the Implant (prefilled with approximately 20 μL of 100-mg/mL, approximately 2 mg dose, of ranibizumab) surgically inserted in the study eye at the Day 1 visit following their randomization visit. Starting at the Month 1 visit, participants were evaluated monthly for the need for Implant refill with the 100-mg/mL formulation of ranibizumab according to their randomization as per protocol-specified refill criteria. Intravitreal Injection with Ranibizumab 0.5mg Ranibizumab Participants received ranibizumab 0.5 mg monthly ITV injections of 10 mg/mL formulation at Day 1 and every month thereafter.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time Until a Participant First Requires the Implant Refill According to Protocol-Defined Refill Criteria Baseline up to approximately 38 months Protocol-Defined Refill Criteria
At 1 month after initial fill:
* Decrease of ≥ 10 letters in BCVA at the current visit compared with the baseline BCVA, due to nAMD disease activity OR
* Increase in CFT of ≥ 100 um at the current visit compared with the baseline CFT, due to nAMD disease activity OR
* Presence of new macular hemorrhage, due to nAMD disease activity
For subsequent assessments:
* Increase in CFT of ≥ 75 μm on SD-OCT at the current visit compared with the average CFT over the last 2 available measurements, due to nAMD disease activity OR
* Increase in CFT of ≥ 100 um from the lowest CFT measurement on study, due to nAMD disease activity OR
* Decrease of ≥ 5 letters in BCVA at the current visit compared with the average BCVA over the last 2 available measurements, due to nAMD disease activity OR
* Decrease of ≥ 10 letters from best recorded BCVA on study, due to nAMD disease activity OR
* Presence of new macular hemorrhage, due to nAMD disease activity
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Implant Clogging at Month 9 Month 9 Removed implants identified as meeting serum PK criteria for possible clogging were assessed via lab-based investigation (in vitro drug release testing) to determine whether there was any implant clogging.
Number of Participants With Ocular and Non-Ocular Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) Baseline up to approximately Month 38 Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Averaged At Month 9 and 10 Baseline, Months 9, 10 Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letter score. The minimum score possible is 0 and maximum possible is 100. A higher score represents better functioning.
Change From Baseline in Central Foveal Thickness (CFT) Over Time as Assessed on Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) Baseline up to Month 9 Central foveal thickness (CFT) is defined as the retinal thickness in the center of the fovea

Estimates for these parameters were tabulated and summarized by descriptive statistics.
Change From Baseline in BCVA Over Time Baseline up to Month 10 Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letter score. The minimum score possible is 0 and maximum possible is 100. A higher score represents better functioning.
Adjusted Average Change From Baseline in BCVA Over Time (MMRM Analysis) Baseline up to Month 10 Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letter score. The minimum score possible is 0 and maximum possible is 100. A higher score represents better functioning. Here, the adjusted mean from MMRM analysis is presented).

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Dosing to Last Observation (AUClast) of Ranibizumab Predose (0 hour) on Day 1 up to approximately 38 months (detailed timeframe is provided in description field) AUCLast is defined as area under the concentration-time curve from dosing (implant or refill) to last observation before next refill or exiting the study. The serum pharmacokinetics of ranibizumab were characterized by estimating AUC between dose intervals. Estimates for these parameters were tabulated and summarized by descriptive statistics.
