Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration | Biological: AM712(ASKG712) | Phase 1 |
The Part 1 of study is a multicenter, open-label, sequentially, multiple ascending-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of AM712 in subjects with nAMD.
Subjects will be sequentially enrolled into different dose-level cohorts following the traditional "3+3" design until the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) or the maximally administered dose (MAD) has been reached.
The Part 2 of study is a multicenter, open-label, sequential study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of AM712 in treatment-naïve patients with nAMD.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 24 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Masking Description: | The Phase 1 study is comprised of open-label multiple ascending-dose component (Part 1) and high concentration component (Part 2) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of AM712 in patients with neovascular age- related macular degeneration (nAMD). |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Prospective, Multi-Center, Open-label, Sequential, Multiple Ascending-Dose and High Concentration Cohorts Phase 1 Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of AM712 Following Intravitreal Administration in Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration. |
Actual Study Start Date : | April 28, 2022 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | June 30, 2024 |

Biological: AM712(ASKG712)
AM712 is a recombinant anti-VEGF humanized monoclonal antibody and Ang-2 antagonist peptide fusion protein, which has high specificity for the binding of VEGF-A and Ang-2. |
- Incidence of ocular adverse events (AEs) of the study eyes [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AM712 in Subjects with neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)
- Incidence of non-ocular AEs [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AM712 in Subjects with neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)
- Any relevant safety observations derived from BCVA [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AM712 in Subjects with neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)
- Any relevant safety observations derived from SD-OCT [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AM712 in Subjects with neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)
- Mean change from baseline in central subfield thickness as assessed by SD-OCT [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the efficacy of AM712 in Subjects with nAMD
- Proportion of patients with no intraretinal fluid, subretinal fluid, or pigment epithelial detachment as assessed by SD-OCT [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the efficacy of AM712 in Subjects with nAMD
- Mean change from baseline in BCVA (ETDRS) [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the efficacy of AM712 in Subjects with nAMD
- Proportion of patients gaining ≥ 15 letters from baseline BCVA [ Time Frame: 252 days ]To evaluate the efficacy of AM712 in Subjects with nAMD

Ages Eligible for Study: | 50 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female subjects with 50 years of age or older
- Active sub-foveal CNV lesion secondary to nAMD including juxta or extra-foveal lesions that partially affect the fovea
- The area of CNV must occupy at least 50% of total lesion
- Total lesion area ≤ 12 DA
- ETDRS BCVA letter score measured at screening and baseline
- Clear ocular media and adequate pupil dilation to permit good quality photographic imaging in study eye
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any previous systemic anti-VEGF treatment
- Any systemic treatment or therapy to treat neovascular AMD
- Continuous use of systemic corticosteroids
- Diseases that affect intravenous injection and venous blood sampling
- Presence of CNV due to other causes, such as ocular histoplasmosis, trauma, multifocal choroiditis, angioid streaks, history of choroidal rupture, or pathologic myopia in study eye
- History or any concurrent ocular condition which, in opinion of investigator, could either confound interpretation of efficacy and safety of IP or require medical or surgical intervention.
- The area of fibrosis occupies ≥ 50% of total lesion area in study eye
- Evidence of myopia degeneration, diagnosis supported by the axial length examination in study eye
- History or any concurrent macular abnormality other than AMD in study eye
- Current vitreous hemorrhage or history of vitreous hemorrhage in study eye
- History of recurrent inflammation in study eye
- History of treatment for nAMD
- Subject having out of range laboratory values defined as:
ALT or AST > 2 x ULN, total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN Serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULN, BUN > 2 x ULN HbA1c > 7.5% at screening
