Phase IV: Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab in nAMD (BELVEDERE)

Clinical Trial Overview

A Phase IV, Multicenter, Open-Label Study to Assess Corneal Endothelial Cells in Patients with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treated with the Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab

Objective

This study will assess corneal endothelial cells in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) refilled every 24 weeks (Q24W).

Trial Design

Primary Endpoints

  • Percent change in corneal ECD from baseline at Week 48 assessed by specular microscopy

Secondary Endpoints

  • Percent change in corneal ECD from baseline at Week 24
  • Percent change in the CV (Coefficient of Variation) of corneal Endothelial Cell Area from baseline at Weeks 24 and 48
  • Percent change in HEX from baseline at Weeks 24 and 48
  • Percentage of patients with ocular serious adverse events, adverse events of special Interests, and adverse device effects
  • Duration of ocular AESIs (Adverse Events of Special Interests)
  • Percentage of patients with ocular AESIs during the postoperative period, intermediate postoperative period, and follow-up period
  • Number of patients with and duration of ASADEs (Anticipated Serious Adverse Device Effects)

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria Key Exclusion Criteria
  • Initial diagnosis of nAMD within 18 months prior to screening
  • Difference of <10% in ECD at screening between the 2 eyes as measured by specular microscopy and determined by the independent reading center
  • Availability of historical visual acuity data and SD-OCT (Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography) imaging prior to the first anti-VEGF IVT (Intravitreal) treatment for nAMD
  • Demonstrated response to at least two anti-VEGF intravitreal injections since diagnosis
  • BCVA (Best corrected visual acuity) of 34 letters (approximate 20/200 Snellen equivalent) or better, using ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters at screening and enrollment
  • All subtypes of nAMD lesions are permissible
  • nAMD lesions at the time of diagnosis must involve the macula (6 mm diameter centered at the fovea)
  • Sufficiently clear ocular media and adequate pupillary dilation to allow for clinical examination and analysis and grading by the central reading center of SD-OCT images
  • Prior treatment with verteporfin for injection, external-beam radiation therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, or brachytherapy
  • Previous treatment with corticosteroid IVT injection, PDS implantation, or laser (any type) used for AMD treatment
  • Previous intraocular surgery (including cataract surgery) within 6 months of study enrollment
  • Corneal ECD ≤1500 cells/mm2 in either eye at screening as determined by the independent reading center
  • History of conjunctival surgery in the superotemporal quadrant, vitreous hemorrhage, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, or corneal transplant
  • Previous intraocular device implantation excluding intraocular lenses
  • History of glaucoma-filtering surgery, tube shunts, or microinvasive glaucoma surgery
  • Contact lens wear in either eye within 2 months of screening
  • Any prior ocular trauma (blunt or penetrating)
  • History of corneal transplantation, including partial-thickness corneal grafts
  • Prior treatment with brolucizumab, any anti-VEGF biosimilar agents, faricimab, or aflibercept 8 mg within 2 months of screening
