Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter long-term extension study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of faricimab administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection at a personalized treatment interval (PTI) to participants who enrolled in and completed one of the two Phase III studies, GR40349 (NCT03622580) or GR40398 (NCT03622593), also referred to as the parent studies.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 1479 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Masking Description: The first 16 weeks of this study will be a masked period (to transition from the multi-arm parent studies) during which participants may receive either faricimab or sham injection. Participants and physicians will be masked only to the faricimab treatment interval. After the Week 16 treatment procedure, this study will follow an open-label design. The BCVA examiner will remain masked for the duration of this long-term extension study.
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Multicenter, Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of Faricimab in Patients With Diabetic Macular Edema
Actual Study Start Date : August 5, 2020
Estimated Primary Completion Date : August 18, 2023
Estimated Study Completion Date : August 18, 2023

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Faricimab PTI Drug: Faricimab
Faricimab will be administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection into the study eye according to the personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen.
Other Names:
  • RO6867461
  • RG7716

Other: Sham Procedure
The sham is a procedure that mimics an IVT injection and involves the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) being pressed against the anesthetized eye. The sham procedure will be administered to participants as appropriate during the first 16 weeks of this study in order to maintain the masking of the initial faricimab PTI.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Previous enrollment in and completion of Study GR40349 (NCT03622580) or GR40398 (NCT03622593), without study or study drug discontinuation
  • Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment
  • For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent or use acceptable contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of <1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the final dose of study treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 3 months after the final intravitreal injection of faricimab
  • Presence of other ocular diseases that give reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of faricimab, that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or that renders the patient at high risk for treatment complications
  • Presence of other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of faricimab and that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or that renders the patient at high risk of treatment complications
  • History of a severe allergic reaction or anaphylactic reaction to a biologic agent or known hypersensitivity to any component of the faricimab injections, study treatment procedure, dilating drops, or any of the anesthetic and antimicrobial preparations used by a patient during the study
  • Requirement for continuous use of any medications or treatments indicated as prohibited therapy
