A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of RO7497372 in Participants With Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Diabetic Macular Edema
Interventions
Drug: RO7497372
Registration Number
NCT06847854
Lead Sponsor
Genentech, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of RO7497372 in participants with DME. The study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 will test multiple-ascending doses of RO7497372 after unilateral intravitreal (IVT) administration in participants with DME. The main purpose of Part 1 is to provide data for RO7497372 safety and tolerability, as well as to characterize the ocular and systemic pharmacokinetics (PK), systemic anti-drug antibodies (ADA), and duration of target engagement, i.e., the pharmacodynamics (PD) in aqueous humor (AH) and blood. Part 2 will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of two dose strengths of RO7497372 (low dose and high dose), identified as safe and tolerated in Part 1.

Part 1: Multiple Ascending DoseRO7497372Participants will receive multiple ascending doses of RO7497372, 3 times every 4 weeks (Q4W) as an IVT injection up to Week 8 in the study eye.
Part 2: RO7497372 Low DoseRO7497372Participants will receive 6 doses of RO7497372, low dose, Q4W followed by 3 doses, every eight weeks (Q8W) as an IVT injection up to Week 44 in the study eye.
Part 2: RO7497372 High DoseRO7497372Participants will receive 6 doses of RO7497372, high dose, Q4W followed by 3 doses, Q8W as an IVT injection up to Week 44 in the study eye.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 28 Weeks
Part 2: Number of Participants With Intraocular Inflammation (IOI) AEs as Reported by the InvestigatorBaseline to Week 48
Part 2: Number of Participants With Severe or Serious Drug-Related IOI AEsBaseline to Week 48

Number of participants with severe or serious drug-related IOI AEs severity will be determined according to the DAIDS toxicity grading scale as reported by the Investigator.

Part 2: Number of Participants With Occlusive Retinal Vasculitis AEs as Reported by the InvestigatorBaseline to Week 48
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1: Concentration of RO7497372 in BloodUp to Week 28
Part 1: Concentration of RO7497372 in Aqueous Humor (AH)Up to Week 28
Part 2: Number of Participants With AEsUp to 56 weeks

Number of participants with AEs severity determined according to the DAIDS toxicity grading scale.

Part 2: Number of Participants With Persistent Treatment-induced Anti-drug Antibody (ADAs)Up to 56 weeks
Part 2: Concentration of RO7497372 in AHUp to Week 56
Part 2: Concentration of RO7497372 in PlasmaUp to Week 56
Part 2: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score Over TimeFrom Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 56

BCVA will be measured via Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified visual acuity (VA) examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.

Part 2: Absolute Value of BCVA Score Over TimeUp to Week 56

BCVA will be measured via ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified VA examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.

Part 2: Percentage of Participants Gaining ≥ 15, ≥ 10, ≥ 5, or ≥ 0 Letters in BCVA From Baseline Over TimeUp to Week 56

BCVA will be measured via ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified VA examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.

Part 2: Percentage of Participants Avoiding a Loss of ≥ 15, ≥ 10, ≥ 5, or ≥ 0 Letters in BCVA From Baseline Over TimeUp to Week 56

BCVA will be measured via ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters using a set of three Precision VisionTM or lighthouse distance acuity charts (modified ETDRS Charts 1, 2, and R) prior to dilating eyes by a trained and certified VA examiner. The range of EDTRS is 0 to 100 letters. Higher scores indicates improvement in VA.

Part 2: Change From Baseline in Central Subfield Thickness (CST) Over TimeFrom Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 56

CST is defined as the average thickness of the central 1-mm circle of the ETDRS grid centered to the fovea measured between the internal limiting membrane and the Bruch's membrane. CST will be determined by CRC evaluation of SD-OCT images.

Part 2: Absolute Value of CST Over TimeUp to Week 56

CST is defined as the average thickness of the central 1-mm circle of the ETDRS grid centered to the fovea measured between the internal limiting membrane and the Bruch's membrane. CST will be determined by CRC evaluation of SD-OCT images.

Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Absence of DME Over TimeUp to Week 56

Absence of DME is defined as CST \< 325 micrometre (μm) by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Absence of Intraretinal Fluid and/or Subretinal Fluid Over TimeUp to Week 56

Presence of intraretinal and subretinal fluid will be determined by CRC evaluation of SD -OCT images.

Part 2: Percentage of Participants With ≥ 2-step Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) Improvement From Baseline on the ETDRS DRSS Over TimeUp to Week 56

The DRSS will be graded according to ETDRS grading schedules from report 18 JOVS, February 1998, Vol. 39, No. 2. ETDRS DRSS is 13 step scale which measures severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The DRSS scores vary from 10 (DR absent) to 90 (ungradable proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)). Higher levels indicate higher severity.
