- Brief Summary
To compare brolucizumab to aflibercept in Chinese patients with untreated active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Detailed Description
This was a randomized, double-masked, multicenter, parallel-group, active-controlled study. The study included 14 scheduled visits over 48 weeks. After confirmation of eligibility at baseline, participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the 2 treatment arms:
* Brolucizumab 6 mg: 3 monthly intravitreal injections of brolucizumab 6 mg in the loading treatment period (q4w regimen) up to Week 8 followed by injections every 12 weeks (q12w regimen) or 8 weeks (q8w) up to Week 40 or Week 44, depending on disease activity status.
* Aflibercept 2 mg: 3 monthly intravitreal injections of aflibercept 2 mg in the loading treatment period (q4w regimen) up to Week 8 followed by injections every 8 weeks (q8w) up to Week 40. Disease activity assessments (DAAs) were conducted by the masked investigator for both treatment arms at Weeks 16, 20, 32 and 44 to determine the regimen of brolucizumab arm (i.e., q12w or q8w).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline at Week 48 in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity in Study Eye Baseline, Week 48 BCVA was assessed using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity testing charts.
Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the ETDRS protocol. Participants with a BCVA ETDRS letter score between 78 and 23 ETDRS letters (inclusive) at Screening and Baseline in the study eye were included.
Min and max possible scores are 0-100 respectively. A higher score represents better functioning.
Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for the imputation of missing values.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Average Change From Baseline Over the Period of Week 36 to Week 48 in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity in Study Eye Baseline, over the period Week 36 to Week 48 BCVA was assessed using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity testing charts.

Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for the imputation of missing values.q12w Treatment Status at Week 48 (for Subjects Randomized to Brolucizumab 6 mg Only) - Probability Week 44 The estimate for the proportion of participants with a positive q12w treatment status was derived from Kaplan-Meier time-to-event analyses for the event "first q8w-need", applying a "q8w-need" allocation in case of missing or confounded data attributable to lack of efficacy and/or lack of safety for the purpose of analysis. The proportion of participants with a positive q12w treatment status was derived as follows according to the "sufficient efficacy and safety" approach: the q8w-need assessment was imputed as "Yes" at the disease activity assessment (DAA) visit following early treatment/study discontinuation due to lack of efficacy and /or lack of safety of the study treatment (applicable to both missing and non-missing DAAs).
q12w Treatment Status at Week 48 Within the Subjects With no q8w Need During the First q12w Cycle (Week 16 and Week 20) (for Subjects Randomized to Brolucizumab 6 mg Only) - Probability Week 44 The estimate for the proportion of participants with a positive q12w treatment status was derived from Kaplan-Meier time-to-event analyses for the event "first q8w-need", applying a "q8w-need" allocation in case of missing or confounded data attributable to lack of efficacy and/or lack of safety for the purpose of analysis.
The analysis of "q12w treatment status within the participants randomized to brolucizumab 6 mg and with no q8w need during the first q12w cycle" was based on the subset of FAS participants randomized to brolucizumab 6 mg with no identified q8w-need at Week 16 and Week 20.Number of Subjects With Best-Corrected Visual Acuity of 73 Letters or More at Each Visit Baseline up to Week 48 BCVA was assessed using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity testing charts.
