Brief Summary:
RGX-314 is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is characterized by loss of vision due to new, leaky blood vessel formation in the retina. Wet AMD is a significant cause of vision loss in the United States, Europe and Japan, with up to 2 million people living with wet AMD in these geographies alone. Current anti-VEGF therapies have significantly changed the landscape for treatment of wet AMD, becoming the standard of care due to their ability to prevent progression of vision loss in the majority of patients. These therapies, however, require life-long intraocular injections, typically repeated every four to 12 weeks in frequency, to maintain efficacy. Due to the burden of treatment, patients often experience a decline in vision with reduced frequency of treatment over time. RGX-314 is being developed as a potential one-time treatment for wet AMD.

Detailed Description:
This randomized, partially masked, controlled, Phase 2b/3 clinical study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RGX-314 gene therapy in participants with nAMD. The study will evaluate 2 dose levels of RGX-314 relative to an active comparator. The primary endpoint of this study is mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of RGX-314 relative to ranibizumab. Approximately 300 participants who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, will be enrolled into one of 3 arms.

Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 300 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description: 2 RGX-314 treatment arms, 1 control arm (ranibizumab)
Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Masking Description: The administration of RGX-314 requires an outpatient surgical procedure performed in an operating room, while the active control, ranibizumab, is administered via intravitreal injection in an office setting. This study will be partially masked which will include masking of key study assessors and study drug dose.
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Randomized, Partially Masked, Controlled, Phase 2b/3 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of RGX-314 Gene Therapy in Participants With nAMD (ATMOSPHERE)
Actual Study Start Date : December 29, 2020
Estimated Primary Completion Date : May 2025
Estimated Study Completion Date : May 2026

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mean change from baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) [ Time Frame: At Week 54 ]
    BCVA measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidences of ocular and overall adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Through Week 98 ]
    Evaluate the safety and tolerability of RGX-314

  2. Mean change from baseline in BCVA [ Time Frame: At Week 98 (RGX-314 randomized participants only) ]
    BCVA measured by ETDRS

  3. Mean change from baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) and Center Point Thickness (CPT) as measured by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) [ Time Frame: At Week 54 and Week 98 ]
  4. Mean reduction in supplemental anti VEGF injection annualized rate compared with the prior 52 weeks preceding the first ranibizumab injection received as part of the Active Run-in Period (RGX 314 randomized participants) [ Time Frame: Through Week 54 and Week 98 ]
  5. Mean supplemental anti-VEGF injection annualized rate in the RGX-314 arms [ Time Frame: Through Week 54 and Week 98 ]
