An Eighteen-Month, Two-Arm, Randomized, Double Masked, Multicenter, Phase III Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Brolucizumab Versus Aflibercept in Adult Patients With Visual Impairment Due to Macular Edema Secondary to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

Name
CRTH258C2302
Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of patients with macular edema (ME) secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Phase
Early phase I
Treatment
Brolucizumab 6 mg
Solution for injection (intravitreal use)
Arms:
Brolucizumab 6 mg
Other names:
RTH258, ESBA1008
Aflibercept 2 mg
Solution for injection (Intravitreal use)
Arms:
Aflibercept 2 mg
Other names:

Sham injection
Empty sterile syringe without a needle administered as a sham injection for masking. From Week 24 to Week 72 inclusive, a sham treatment was performed to maintain subject masking in case treatment with brolucizumab or aflibercept was not deemed necessary by the investigator.
Arms:
Aflibercept 2 mg, Brolucizumab 6 mg
Size
493
Primary endpoint
Change From Baseline in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Week 24
Baseline, Week 24
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study. * Patients with visual impairment due to ME secondary to CRVO diagnosed \< 6 months prior to screening. * BCVA score between 78 and 23 letters, inclusive, using ETDRS visual acuity testing charts (approximate Snellen equivalent of 20/32 to 20/320) at both screening and baseline visits. Exclusion criteria * 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 during the first 12-month study period (e.g. structural damage of the fovea, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal vascular occlusion other than CRVO, retinal detachment, macular hole, or choroidal neovascularization of any cause, diabetic retinopathy (except mild non-proliferative) and diabetic macular edema). * 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 * 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 * Presence of amblyopia, amaurosis or ocular disorders in the fellow eye with BCVA \< 20/200 at screening (except when due to conditions whose surgery may improve VA, e.g. cataract) * Previous treatment with any anti-VEGF therapy or investigational drugs in the study eye at any time prior to baseline * Previous use of intraocular or periocular steroids in study eye at any time prior to baseline * Macular laser photocoagulation (focal/grid) in the study eye at any time prior to baseline and peripheral laser photocoagulation in the study eye within 3 months prior to the baseline * Intraocular surgery in the study eye during the 3-month period prior to baseline * Vitreoretinal surgery in the study eye at any time prior to baseline * Aphakia with the absence of posterior capsule in the study eye
