Compares treatment options for Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration
Official title Comparing Efficacy of 8-Week and 12-Week Faricimab Initial Follow-Up Treatment Intervals
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06875245
What this study is testing
What is Faricimab Injection?
Faricimab Injection is an investigational medicine, given as a monthly injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a prospective, randomized study that compares 8-week and 12-week follow-up intervals after the 4 monthly injections in the loading phase. Patients with active CNV confirmed on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) will be randomized into two groups and followed for 44 to 56 weeks.
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
- Time commitment: about 3 months
- Which group you join is decided by chance.

Who can take part
Adults
You may be able to join if
- Active treatment naïve CNV (Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3) in the macula including fovea diagnosed on OCT and OCTA
- BCVA between 70 to 35 ETDRS letters (approx. 20/40 to 20/200 Snellen equivalent) decrease in BCVA caused primarily by the CNV in the study eye
- presence of intra- or subretinal fluid or PED in the central 1 mm of the macula on the OCT
- patient capable of signing the informed consent
You likely can't join if
- Myocardial Infarction or Stroke in the last 3 months Previous or current conditions of the study eye:
- subretinal haemorrhage comprising more than 25% of the lesion in the study eye
- scar or fibrosis comprising more than 50% of the lesion in the study eye
- presence of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears or ruptures in the central 1 mm of the macula in the study eye
- total lesion size more than 8 papillary diameters (PD) as per OCT and FP examination
- uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye defined as IOP of more than 25 mmHg despite the antiglaucoma treatment
