Brief Summary

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

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Zimura™ intravitreous injection in combination with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in subjects with Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (IPCV).

Detailed Description

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

Treatment experienced (Prior treatment with anti-VEGF monotherapy of ≥8 injections in the previous twelve (12) months) subjects of either gender aged 50 years or above with a diagnosis of IPCV, will receive 3 monthly (Q4W) intravitreal injections of Zimura™ (1 mg/eye) in combination with anti-VEGF therapy (Avastin® 1.25 mg/eye or Lucentis® 0.5 mg/eye or Eylea® 2 mg/eye).

Safety endpoints include visual acuity loss (proportion of subjects with \>15 letter loss at Month 3), ophthalmic adverse events (AEs), systemic adverse events (AEs), change in total retinal thickness (SD-OCT) at Month 3, regression and/or elimination of polyps at Month 3 compared to screening as measured by indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and laboratory values.
