Brief Summary

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

This interventional study is being conducted with an investigational gene therapy treatment called ABBV-RGX-314 (also known as RGX-314) and is being developed as a potential one-time gene therapy treatment for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD or nAMD). The typical treatment for nAMD is frequent injections of anti-VEGF therapy. Researchers are testing ABBV-RGX-314 to see if it has similar effects as the current approved standard of care, such as Lucentis® or Eylea® injections.

The duration of this study will be up to 52 weeks or for ranibizumab control participants who cross over to ABBV-RGX-314 after week 52, up to 80 weeks post-randomization.

The primary outcome measure for this investigational study is to evaluate the mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for ABBV-RGX-314 compared with ranibizumab monthly at the Week 40 visit.

Detailed Description

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

This phase 2, randomized, dose-escalation study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ABBV-RGX-314 gene therapy in subjects with nAMD.

ABBV-RGX-314 will be injected into the SCS part of the eye. Approximately 140 participants who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled into one of 7 cohorts. Participants will be randomized in Cohorts 1 and 2 to receive ABBV-RGX-314 or the intravitreal ranibizumab control. Participants enrolled in Cohorts 3 through 5 will receive ABBV-RGX-314. Participants enrolled in Cohort 6 will receive ABBV-RGX-314 and will be randomized to one of two different post-procedural steroid regimens. Participants randomized in Cohort 7 will receive ABBV-RGX-314 with a protocol mandated steroid regimen or the intravitreal ranibizumab control. Cohort 1 will evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 Dose 1, Cohorts 2 and 3 will evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 Dose 2, Cohorts 4, 5, and 6 will evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 Dose 3, and Cohort 7 will evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 Dose 4.

The duration of the study will be up to 52 weeks or for ranibizumab control participants who cross over to ABBV-RGX-314, up to 80 weeks post-randomization.

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
The vision examiners and central reading center (CRC) graders will be masked, meaning they will be unaware of the participants' treatment assignment. All other individuals affiliated with the study (investigators, all study center personnel apart from the vision examiners, the participants, all staff of Sponsor and its research collaborator, all staff affiliated with the contract research organization, and all CRC staff apart from the CRC graders) will have knowledge of the treatment assignment.
