Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration | Drug: KSI-301 Drug: Aflibercept Other: Sham Procedure | Phase 3 |
This is a Phase 3, prospective, randomized, double-masked, two-arm, multi-center non-inferiority study evaluating the efficacy and safety of repeated intravitreal dosing of KSI-301 5 mg in participants with visual impairment due to treatment-naïve neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wAMD)
The primary endpoint will be assessed as an average of Weeks 40, 44, and 48; additional secondary endpoints for efficacy will be assessed by visit over time
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 557 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Participants will be randomized 1:1 into one of two treatment arms: KSI-301 or aflibercept. |
Masking: | Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | For masking purposes, sham injections will be administered at every monthly visit if an active treatment is not administered. To preserve masking, two investigators are required for this study. The masked Investigator will be responsible for the examinations and safety assessments. The unmasked Investigator will perform the injections and post-treatment assessments. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Prospective, Randomized, Double-masked, Active Comparator-controlled, Multi-center, Two-arm, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravitreal KSI-301 Compared With Intravitreal Aflibercept in Participants With Neovascular (Wet) Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) |
Actual Study Start Date : | June 15, 2021 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | March 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | April 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: KSI-301 (Treatment Group A)
Intravitreal injection of KSI-301 (5 mg) at Day 1 once every 4 weeks via intravitreal injection through Week 44.
|
Drug: KSI-301
Intravitreal Injection |
Active Comparator: Aflibercept (Treatment Group B)
Intravitreal injection of aflibercept (2 mg) once every 4 weeks for 3 monthly doses followed by intravitreal injection of aflibercept (2 mg) once every 8 weeks from Week 16 to Week 44. Sham injections will be administered at each monthly visit where an active treatment is not administered.
|
Drug: Aflibercept
Intravitreal Injection
Other Name: Eylea Other: Sham Procedure The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal injection. It involves pressing the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) against the anesthetized eye. It will be administered to participants in both treatments arms at applicable visits to maintain masking. |
- Non-inferiority of KSI-301 to aflibercept measured by changes in BCVA. [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ]Demonstrate that KSI-301 5 mg is non-inferior to aflibercept 2 mg with respect to mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
- Efficacy of KSI-301 5 mg compared to aflibercept 2 mg based on changes in BCVA [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ]Change from baseline in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between the two treatment arms.
- Efficacy of KSI-301 5 mg compared to aflibercept 2 mg based on OCT-CST [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ]Change from baseline in central subfield thickness (CST) between the two treatment arms.
- Safety and tolerability of KSI-301 5 mg compared to aflibercept 2 mg based on the number of ocular and systemic adverse events [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 52 ]Incidence of ocular and systemic adverse events between the two treatment arms.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 50 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Signed informed consent prior to participation in the study.
- Treatment-naïve choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to AMD.
- BCVA ETDRS score between 83 and 25 letters, inclusive, in the Study Eye.
- Decrease in vision in the Study Eye determined by the Investigator to be primarily the result of wAMD.
- Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply
Exclusion Criteria:
- BCVA of hand motion or worse in the non-Study Eye or non-physical presence of a non-Study Eye (i.e., monocular).
- Active or suspected ocular or periocular infection or inflammation.
- CNV secondary to other causes in the Study Eye.
- Any history or evidence of a concurrent ocular condition present in the Study Eye, that in the opinion of the Investigator could require either medical or surgical intervention or affect macular edema or alter visual acuity during the study.
- Uncontrolled glaucoma in the Study Eye.
- Significant media opacities, including cataract, in the Study Eye that might interfere with visual acuity, assessment of safety, OCT or fundus photography.
- Cataract in the Study Eye that in the judgment of the Investigator is expected to require surgical extraction within 12 months of screening.
- Women who are pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant during the study.
- Recent history (within the 6 months prior to screening) of myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack, acute congestive heart failure or any acute coronary event.
- History of a medical condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would preclude scheduled study visits, completion of the study, or a safe administration of investigational product.
- Uncontrolled blood pressure defined as a systolic value ≥180 mmHg or diastolic value ≥100 mmHg while at rest.
- Other protocol-specified exclusion criteria may apply
