Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase III Study to Evaluate the Port Delivery System With Ranibizumab Compared With Monthly Ranibizumab Injections in Participants With Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (NCT NCT03677934)

NCT ID: NCT03677934

Last Updated: 2022-10-04

Results Overview

The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in BCVA score from baseline averaged over Weeks 36 and 40 with BCVA assessed using the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. ETDRS = Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study. The primary objective is to determine the NI and equivalence between the two treatment groups, as measured by the primary efficacy endpoint with a NI margin of 4.5 letters and equivalence margins of ± 4.5 letters. A vision score of 20/20 vision is considered normal. A score of 20/200 is considered being legally blind.
