A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind Phase III Clinical Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of BAT5906 and Ranibizumab (Lucentis®) in Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration
A non-inferiority design was used to conduct a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled multi-center study. A total of 488 subjects with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (w-AMD) were planned to be enrolled. Qualified subjects were divided into experimental group and control group in a 1:1 ratio, and stratified randomized according to the letter value of baseline period and whether the eyes had received anti-VEGF drug treatment. The experimental group received BAT5906 injection. The control group received Lucentis® treatment. Only 1 eye per subject was included in this study.
• Understand and sign the informed consent, and be willing to follow up according to the time specified in the trial;
• Age 50-85 years old (including boundary value), male and female;
• Study the subjects who were diagnosed with neovascular age-related macular degeneration and still had active lesions confirmed by imaging examination. Active lesions were defined as the presence of any of the following lesions in the macular area: ① intraretinal fluid; ② Lipid exudation in the retina; ③ Subretinal fluid; (4) Subretinal hemorrhage; (5) Retinal pigment epithelium detachment; ⑥ Choroidal neovascularization leakage;
• The total area of the study eye lesions ≤30mm2(12 optic disc areas) was confirmed by the film reading center before randomization;
• The BCVA of the study eye at screening and baseline was 73-19 letters (ETDRS visual acuity chart, including boundary values), equivalent to Snellen visual acuity 20/40 to 20/400;
• BCVA≥19 letters, equivalent to Snellen visual acuity ≥20/400, measured by ETDRS visual chart at screening and baseline in non-study eyes.
