About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration focused on measuring AMD, Wet AMD, Suprachoroidal, Tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Microinjector, Suprachoroidal Space (SCS)

Eligibility Criteria

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

Key Inclusion Criteria: Diagnosis of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in the study eye within 36 months of Visit 1. Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to nAMD of any lesion type in the study eye that shows total lesion area ≤30 mm2, CNV component area of ≥50% of the total lesion area, and and CNV must not be associated with subfoveal hemorrhage, subfoveal fibrosis, or subfoveal atrophy. Previous treatment in the study eye with between 2 and 4 anti-VEGF intravitreal injections for nAMD (faricimab, ranibizumab, bevacizumab, brolucizumab, or aflibercept) per standard of care within 6 months of Visit 1. History of response to prior intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment in the study eye. ETDRS BCVA of between 20 and 80 letters (inclusive) in the study eye. Key Exclusion Criteria: ETDRS BCVA <20 letters in the study eye. Central subfield thickness > 400 μm or retinal pigment epithelium detachment thickness >400 μm on SD-OCT in the study eye. Subretinal hemorrhage, fibrosis or atrophy of >50% of the total lesion area and/or that involves the fovea on fundus fluorescein angiography and/or color fundus photography in the study eye. CNV due to causes other than AMD, such are ocular histoplasmosis, trauma, pathological myopia, angioid streaks, choroidal rupture, or uveitis, in the study eye. Any history of macular pathology unrelated to AMD affecting vision or contributing to the presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid in the study eye.

Arm Label

1.0 mg CLS-AX

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Evaluations of Outcomes Related to ETDRS BCVA in the Study Eye Over Time
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letter score measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting test distance of 4 meters. The BCVA letter score ranges from 0 to 100 (best score attainable). An increase in BCVA letter score from baseline indicates an improvement in visual acuity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Evaluations of Outcomes Related to Fluid Detected on Optical Coherence Tomography in the Study Eye Over Time
Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that provides high-resolution, cross-sectional tissue imaging and analysis of structural changes in the eye during disease progression. A central reading center will provide measurements and standardized gradings of outcomes related to retinal thickness and fluid in the eye, respectively. Central subfield retinal thickness (CST) is defined as the distance between the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in millimeters in the circular region centered on the anatomic fovea with a radius of 500 microns. The presence and location of intraretinal and subretinal fluid in the central subfield (center 1 mm) is graded as Absent (the best grade attainable); Definite, outside center subfield; Definite, center subfield involved; and Definite, both center subfield and outer subfields involved.
Evaluations of Outcomes Related to Lesion Size on Fundus Fluorescein Angiography in the Study Eye Over Time
Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is an invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of retinal and choroidal circulation. It involves injecting fluorescein dye into a vein in the arm/hand and taking pictures as it circulates through the eye. A central reading center will provide measurements of outcomes related to the size of lesions/leakage in the eye. Total area of Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) includes classic and occult components and ranges from 0-42 mm2, with 0 mm2 being the best measurement attainable. Total lesion area includes the total CNV and associated lesion components and ranges from 0-42 mm2, with 0 mm2 being the best measurement attainable. Total area of leakage includes the total area leakage from neovascularization and ranges from 0-42 mm2, with 0 mm2 being the best measurement attainable.
Evaluation of the Number of Study Drug Injections and Supplemental Therapy Injections in the Study Eye Over Time
Number of masked study drug injections and supplemental therapy injections administered in the study eye.
Evaluation of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
The analysis of serious adverse events (SAEs) includes both ocular and non-ocular (systemic) adverse events (AEs) meeting SAE criteria as defined in International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E6 Good Clinical Practice Consolidated Guidance. TEAEs are defined as adverse events that emerge during or after treatment with masked treatment having been absent pre-treatment or worsens relative to the pre-treatment state. Investigators will seek information on AEs at each contact with the participant. All AEs are recorded and the Investigator will independently assess seriousness, severity, and causality of each AE.
