avacincaptad pegolavacincaptad pegolParticipants will receive avacincaptad pegol monthly for up to 17 Months.
ShamShamParticipants will receive a matching sham monthly for up to 17 Months.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean rate of change in the area of ellipsoid zone defectup to 18 Months

The ellipsoid zone will be measured through the foveal center with an en face Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to persistent vision lossBaseline up to 18 Months

Vision loss is defined as BCVA loss \>/= 10, 15 or 20 letters from Baseline at two or more consecutive visits through Month 18.

Mean rate of change in the area of atrophic lesion (definite decrease in autofluorescence)Baseline up to 18 Months

The definite decrease in autofluorescence (DDAF) will be measured by fundus autofluorescence (FAF).

Mean change in photopic sensitivityBaseline up to 18 Months

Photopic sensitivity will be measured by microperimetry.

Mean change in best corrected visual acuityBaseline up to 18 Months

Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) will be measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study \[ETDRS\] letters chart.

Emergence of at least one new atrophic lesion (DDAF)Up to 18 Months

The DDAF will be measured by FAF.

Mean rate of change in the thickness of the outer nuclear layerBaseline up to 18 Months

The outer nuclear layer will be measured by a horizontal scan through the foveal center at the position of maximum width of ellipsoid zone loss measured by SD-OCT.

Number of participants with ophthalmic abnormalities and/or AEsUp to 18 Months

Number of participants with potentially clinically significant ophthalmic variables.

Number of participants with 12-Lead electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and/or AEsUp to 18 Months

Number of participants with potentially clinically significant 12-Lead ECG values.

Mean rate of change in the horizontal width of undetectable ellipsoid zoneBaseline up to 18 Months

The ellipsoid zone will be measured by a horizontal scan through the foveal center with SD-OCT.

Mean change in mesopic macular sensitivityBaseline up to 18 Months

Mesopic macular sensitivity will be measured by microperimetry.

Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 18 Months

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant including unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship to this treatment.

AEs include illnesses with onset during the trial, or exacerbations of pre-existing illnesses. Exacerbation of pre-existing illness is defined as a significant increase in the severity of the illness as compared to the start of the trial and should be considered when a patient requires new or additional treatment for that illness.

Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities and/or AEsUp to 18 Months

Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.

Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or AEsUp to 18 Months

Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.
