About this trial

To evaluate the Efficacy of a personalized treat-and-extend regimen of faricimab for treatment-naive polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Presence of active polypoidal lesions in the macula as shown by Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) AND presence of serosanguinous maculopathy, i.e., exudative or hemorrhagic features involving the macula on color fundus photography (CFP), FA and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) AND presence of IRF or SRF that affects the central subfield as seen by SD-OCT.

BCVA score must be ≤ 78 and ≥ 24 letters at 4 meters starting distance using early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) visual acuity charts at both Screening and Baseline.

Greatest liner dimension (GLD) of the total lesion area (branching vascular network [BVN] + polypoidal lesion) < 5400 μm (equivalent to 9 macular photocoagulation study [MPS] Disc Area) as delineated by ICGA.

Signed Informed Consent Form

Disqualifiers

Previous treatment with any anti-VEGF drugs or faricimab or investigational drugs at any time prior to Baseline.

Previous use of intraocular or periocular steroids within the 6-month period prior to Baseline.

Macular laser photocoagulation (focal/grid) or PDT at any time prior to Baseline and peripheral laser photocoagulation within 3 months prior to Baseline.

Treatment with investigational therapy (device, drug, or traditional medicine with the exception of vitamins and minerals) within 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment on study Day 1
