A Multicenter, Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of Faricimab in Patients With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AVONELLE-X)

Incidence and Severity of Ocular Adverse Events in the Study Eye, With Severity Determined According to Adverse Event Severity Grading Scale

Time Frame: From the date of first administration of faricimab through 28 days after the end of study (up to 2 years)

This is an analysis of participants with at least one ocular adverse event (AE) that occurred in the study eye. Investigators sought information on AEs at each contact with the participants. All AEs were recorded and the investigator made an assessment of the seriousness, severity (e.g., mild, moderate, or severe intensity), and causality for each AE. AEs of special interest (AESI) included the following: Sight-threatening AEs that cause a drop in visual acuity (VA) score ≥30 letters lasting more than 1 hour, are associated with severe intraocular inflammation (IOI), or require surgical or medical intervention to prevent permanent loss of sight; suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study drug; and, cases of potential drug-induced liver injury that include an elevated ALT or AST in combination with either an elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice, as defined by Hy's Law.

Incidence of Ocular Adverse Events in the Fellow Eye

Time Frame: From the date of first administration of faricimab through 28 days after the end of study (up to 2 years)

Incidence and Severity of Non-Ocular Adverse Events, With Severity Determined According to Adverse Event Severity Grading Scale

Time Frame: From the date of first administration of faricimab through 28 days after the end of study (up to 2 years)

This is an analysis of participants with at least one non-ocular (systemic) adverse event (AE). Investigators sought information on AEs at each contact with the participants. All AEs were recorded and the investigator made an assessment of the seriousness, severity (e.g., mild, moderate, or severe intensity), and causality for each AE. AEs of special interest (AESI) included the following: Sight-threatening AEs that cause a drop in visual acuity (VA) score ≥30 letters lasting more than 1 hour, are associated with severe intraocular inflammation (IOI), or require surgical or medical intervention to prevent permanent loss of sight; suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study drug; and, cases of potential drug-induced liver injury that include an elevated ALT or AST in combination with either an elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice, as defined by Hy's Law.

Substudy: Percent Change in Corneal Endothelial Cell Density From Baseline at 1 Year in the Study Eye as Compared With the Fellow Eye

Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year

Specular microscopy was performed for both eyes prior to application of any topical ophthalmic anesthetic, tonometry, or any other study treatment on the same day for the evaluation of corneal endothelial cell (CEC) density. The 1-year timepoint was defined as the earliest substudy visit closest to Week 52 occurring between Week 48 and Week 64. Data (from both study eye and fellow eye) collected after the fellow eye's use of prohibited therapies-such as faricimab, brolucizumab, bevacizumab, and Port Delivery System implantation-were excluded from the corneal endothelial cell analysis.
