Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Macular Degeneration

Registration Number
NCT02859766
Lead Sponsor
Allergan
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the safety and characterize the systemic pharmacokinetics (PK) of free and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-bound abicipar following single and multiple intravitreal injections of abicipar pegol in treatment-naïve patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Inclusion Criteria

-Presence of active subfoveal and/or juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Exclusion Criteria
  • History of or active periocular, ocular, or intraocular infection.
  • Previous use of verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) or any ocular anti-angiogenic therapy (eg, aflibercept, bevacizumab, ranibizumab, pegaptanib), approved or investigational, for the treatment of neovascular AMD or previous therapeutic radiation in the region.
  • Prior use of ocular anti-VEGF agents for neovascular eye diseases other than AMD.
  • Macular hemorrhage that involves the center of fovea in the study eye.
  • Any prior or current systemic or ocular treatment (including surgery) for neovascular AMD in the study eye.
  • Treatment with ocular corticosteroid injections or implants within 6 months in the study eye.
  • History or evidence of eye surgery: Pars plana vitrectomy, Submacular surgery or other surgical interventions for AMD, Incisional glaucoma surgery or Cataract or refractive surgery within the last 3 months.
  • AMD in the non-study eye that requires anti-VEGF treatment.
