Phase:

PHASE3

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of Chinese patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema.

Detailed Description

The study is a randomized, double-masked, multi-center, active-controlled, 2-arm study in Chinese patients with Diabetic macular edema (DME). Approximately 335 Chinese patients were planned to be scre...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study.
  • Patients ≥18 years of age at screening
  • Patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of ≤10% at screening
  • Medication for the management of diabetes must have been stable within 3 months prior to randomization and is expected to remain as stable as medically acceptable during the course of the study
  • Study Eye Visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME) with:
  • Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) score between 78 and 23 letters, inclusive, using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) testing charts at a starting testing distance of 4 meters (approximate Snellen equivalent of 20/32 to 20/320) at screening and baseline
  • DME involving the center of the macula, with central subfield retinal thickness (e.g. measured from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to the inner limiting membrane (ILM) inclusively) of ≥320 μm on Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) at screening.

Exclusion

  • Active Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in the study eye as per investigator
  • Concomitant conditions or ocular disorders in the study eye at screening or baseline which could, in the opinion of the investigator, prevent response to study treatment or may confound interpretation of study results, compromise visual acuity or require medical or surgical intervention for the duration of the study (e.g. cataract, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal vascular occlusion, retinal detachment, macular hole, or choroidal neovascularization (CNV) of any cause)
  • Any active intraocular or periocular infection or active intraocular inflammation (e.g. infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, endophthalmitis, infectious blepharitis, uveitis) in study eye at screening or baseline
  • Structural damage of the fovea in the study eye at screening likely to preclude improvement in visual acuity following the resolution of macular edema (ME), including atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, subretinal fibrosis, laser scar(s), epiretinal membrane involving fovea or organized hard exudate plaques
  • Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) \> 25 mmHg on medication or according to investigator's judgment at Screening or Baseline
  • Neovascularization of the iris in the study eye at screening or baseline
  • Evidence of vitreomacular traction in the study eye at screening or baseline which in the opinion of the investigator, affects visual acuity
  • Previous treatment with any anti-vascular growth factor (VEGF) drug or investigational drugs in the study eye
