A Phase 3 Clinical Trial to Compare RBS-001 to Eylea® in Subjects With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Sponsor:

Rophibio, Inc.

Brief Summary:

This clinical study is designed to demonstrate the equivalence of the two Investigational Products by comparing the efficacy, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of RBS-001 and Eylea® in subjects with Neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Condition or disease

Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)

Intervention/treatment

RBS-001 Solution for intravitreal injection

Eylea® Solution for intravitreal injection

Phase

PHASE3

Detailed Description:

This is a phase 3 clinical trial to compare efficacy, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of RBS-001 to Eylea® in subjects with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. A total of 434 subjects will be enrolled in the sponsor-selected study institutions. The test group will be 217 subjects (including approximately 20 subjects for the exploratory assessment of PK) and the control group will be 217 subjects (including approximately 20 subjects for the exploratory assessment of PK). Overall study period is approximately 24 months from the date of approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or the Independent Ethics Committee (IEC). Study period for individual subjects is approximately 56 weeks (up to 28 days of screening + 48 weeks of treatment + 4 weeks of follow-up).
