简要总结
This is a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, two-arm, parallel group, active control, randomized, comparative phase III clinical trial. After obtaining written informed consent, subjects will be screened to determine their eligibility forstudy participation. Subjects will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either RTPR-051 or Eylea® (administered via intravitreal [IVT] injection 2 mg [0.05 mL] every 4 weeks for the first 3 doses (i.e., at Weeks 0, 4, and 8), followed by 2 mg [0.05 mL] once every 8 weeks). At Week 32, subjects in Eylea® treatment group (except those who have consented for PK assessment) will be randomised again in a 1:1 ratio to either continue on Eylea® treatment or be transitioned to R-TPR-051 treatment. In the 8-week treatment cycle, IPs (RTPR-051 or Eylea®) will be administered up to Week 48, and the last assessment will be done at Week 52, corresponding to the end of follow-up for all subjects. A total of 382 patients with neovascular AMD will be enrolled
