Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Ranibizumab 0.5 mg Administered as Two Alternative Dosing Regimens in Chinese Patients With nAMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration) (NCT NCT01775124)

NCT ID: NCT01775124

Last Updated: 2019-09-04

Results Overview

Visual acuity (VA) was assessed at every study visit using best correction determined from protocol refraction. VA measurements (number of letters correctly identified) were performed with the patient in a sitting position using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like VA testing charts at a testing distance of 4 meters. This outcome measure describes the difference between the VA averaged across all visits from Month 4 through 12 and the Month 3 Level of Visual Acuity (Letters) of the Study Eye. The treatment regimen up to Month 3 is the same in both treatment groups.

Visual acuity (VA) was assessed on both eyes during every study visit using best correction determined from protocol refraction. VA measurements (number of letters correctly identified) were performed with the patient in a sitting position using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like visual acuity testing charts at a testing distance of 4 meters.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Month 24

Population: Full Analysis Set: Consisted of all patients to whom study treatment were assigned. Following the intent to treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at randomization. (MV-LOCF)=Mean value interpolation and last observation carried forward

Visual acuity (VA) was at every study visit using best correction determined from protocol refraction. VA measurements (number of letters correctly identified) were performed with the patient in a sitting position using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like visual acuity testing charts at a testing distance of 4 meters. This outcome measure describes for each post-baseline month whether or not a patient improved by equal or more than 5, 10, 15,or 30 letters of VA as compared to baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Month 24

Population: Full Analysis Set: Consisted of all patients to whom study treatment were assigned. Following the intent to treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at randomization. (MV-LOCF)=Mean value interpolation and last observation carried forward

Visual acuity (VA) was assessed at every study visit using best correction determined from protocol refraction. VA measurements (number of letters correctly identified) were performed with the patient in a sitting position using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like visual acuity testing charts at a testing distance of 4 meters. This outcome measure describes for each post-baseline month whether or not a patient lost less than 15 letters of VA as compared with baseline.

Population: Safety set consisted of all patients who received at least one application of ranibizumab ( active study treatment) and had at least one post-baseline safety assessment. A patient who had no AEs also constituted a safety assessment

This outcome measure describes duration of treatment-free intervals. Treatment-free interval is defined as the number of visits (whether attended or not) where ranibizumab was not administered. n= the number of patients who had at least one ranibizumab treatment interruption

This outcome measure describes duration of treatment-free intervals prior to month 12. Treatment-free interval is defined as the number of visits (whether attended or not) where ranibizumab was not administered. n= the number of patients who had at least one ranibizumab treatment interruption Treatment-free interval is analyzed in the Ranibizumab 0.5 mg PRN group only. It is not analyzed in the Ranibizumab 0.5 mg monthly group because, by protocol design, these participants receive treatment monthly. Therefore, the analysis does not apply to this group.
