Phase 2 Study of Multidose APL-3007 with SyfovrePegcetacoplan APL-2 to Treat Geographic Atrophy from Age-Related Macular Degeneration

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effects of APL-3007 combined with SyfovrePegcetacoplan APL-2 in patients with geographic atrophy caused by age-related macular degeneration AMD. This Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of these treatments in this eye condition. The study involves multiple centers and uses a masked design to ensure unbiased results. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups two receiving different doses or frequencies of APL-3007 in combination with pegcetacoplan APL-2, and one receiving a placebo along with pegcetacoplan APL-2. The study will evaluate the treatments given as multidose regimens. The treatments focus on complement C3 inhibition to potentially impact disease progression. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including artificial intelligence-based imaging to measure retinal pigment epithelium lesion area and photoreceptor degeneration, safety evaluations through adverse event reporting and visual acuity tests, and blood tests to assess serum markers. These evaluations occur over 12 months to monitor changes from baseline. Participants involvement includes regular visits for these assessments, with the study tracking treatment effects and safety over the duration.

A Phase 2, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter, Masked Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics of Multidose APL 3007 in Combination With Syfovre/Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) in Patients Diagnosed With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age Related Macular Degeneratio
