Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects of either gender aged ≥ 50 years
  • Diagnosis of IPCV
  • Treatment-experienced defined as prior treatment with anti-VEGF mono therapy of ≥ 8 injections in the previous twelve (12) months

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any intraocular surgery or thermal laser within three (3) months of trial entry
  • Any prior thermal laser in the macular region, regardless of indication
  • Any ocular or periocular infection in the twelve (12) weeks prior to entry

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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
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.
