An Open-label, Dose-escalation Phase I/IIa Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of EXG102-031 Intraocular Injection in Participants With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration(wAMD)
In neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wAMD), the macula, or the part of the eye that provides the clear, detailed central vision, is being affected by abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage. This leakage affects the vision over time and can lead to severe blurriness or blinding. EXG102-031 was made to block the extra vessel formation which would lead to less leakage affecting the vision. Before EXG102-031 can be tested for its efficacy (if it makes vision better), it must be tested to see if it is safely tolerated to confirm it can continue to be studied in more patients with wAMD.
• Male or female, age ≥ 50 years of age;
• Diagnosis of wAMD and current active lesion in the study eye at Screening;
• An ETDRS BCVA letter scores between 73 and 9 letters in the study eye;
• Response to anti-VEGF treatment within 6 months prior to screening or at the time of screening introduction;
• The study eye must be a Intraocular lens eye(post-cataract surgery status) and be at least 1 month post IOL implantation at enrollment;
• Voluntarily agree to participate in the clinical trial, understand the trial procedures, and be capable of signing the informed consent form before screening.
