Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to prove and confirm the efficacy and safety of multiple injections of human recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-Fc fusion protein (KH902) in patients with choroidal neovascularization due to neovascular age-related macular degeneration by comparing intravitreal injections of KH902 with sham-injections.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

AMD is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people over the age of 65 in the United States and other western countries. A quantity of documents indicate that neovascularization promoted by VEGF is the main cause of visual acuity decline. Patients are starving for a new drug which can notably improve VA with less administration frequency and lower treatment cost.

The new drug Recombinant Human VEGF Receptor-Fc Fusion Protein (KH902) is a gene fusion protein. The pre-clinical researches and phase II study showed that KH902 is well-tolerated,and safe, it is effective in inhibiting the growth, migration, pullulation of vascular endothelial cells and neovascularization induced by VEGF.

This study is designed to prove and confirm the efficacy and safety of multiple injections of KH902 in patients with choroidal neovascularization due to neovascular age-related macular degeneration by comparing intravitreal injections of KH902 with sham-injections.

0.5 mg KH902

Patients will receive intravitreal injection of KH902 0.5mg/eye once per month for three times in the study eye, and then patients will receive 2 sham injections monthly, respectively, at the end of month 3 (visit 5), and following these injections you will receive intravitreal injection of KH902 once every three months, till month 12 (respectively at month 5, month 8 and month 11)
