Brief Summary:
Neovascular or wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is a degenerative ocular disease associated with the infiltration of abnormal blood vessels in the retina from the underlying choroid layer and is a leading cause of blindness in patients over 65 years of age. The abnormal angiogenic process in nAMD is stimulated and modulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Treatment of nAMD requires frequent intravitreal (IVT) injections of VEGF inhibitors (anti-VEGF) administered every 4-16 weeks. ADVM-022 (AAV.7m8-aflibercept) is a gene therapy product being developed for the treatment of nAMD and offers the potential for sustained intraocular expression of aflibercept following a single IVT injection. ADVM-022 is designed to reduce the current treatment burden which often results in undertreatment and vision loss in patients with nAMD receiving anti-VEGF therapy in clinical practice.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration Genetic: ADVM-022 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-masked, parallel group study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a single IVT injection of ADVM-022 at one of two doses (2 × 10^11 vg/eye [2E11] or 6 × 10^10 vg/eye [6E10]) accompanied by one of four prophylactic corticosteroid treatment regimens.

Up to 72 anti-VEGF treatment-experienced study participants meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized between the 2E11 vg/eye and 6E10 vg/eye ADVM-022 doses each with 4 prophylaxis arms for a total of 8 treatment arms, and only one eye per study participant will be selected as the study eye.

Safety, tolerability, and efficacy will be evaluated for a period of approximately 1 year from baseline.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Severity of ocular and non-ocular adverse events [ Time Frame: From Baseline to Week 52 ]
    Incidence of ocular and non-ocular adverse events

  2. Incidence of ocular and non-ocular adverse events [ Time Frame: From Baseline to Week 52 ]
    Incidence of ocular and non-ocular adverse events

  3. Mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    BCVA measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants from Baseline who lose/gain at least 5, 10 or 15 letters in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    BCVA measured by ETDRS

  2. Mean change in BCVA from Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
    BCVA measured by ETDRS

  3. Percentage of participants who are supplemental aflibercept injection-free [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    Supplemental anti-VEGF treatments required post therapy

  4. Percentage reduction in anti-VEGF injections [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    Supplemental anti-VEGF treatments required post therapy to the year prior

  5. Mean change in Central Subfield Thickness (CST) from Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    To evaluate the effect of ADVM-022 on CST

  6. Percentage of participants without CST fluctuations > 50 μm [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    To evaluate the effect of ADVM-022 on CST

  7. Mean number of CST fluctuations > 50 μm from Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    To evaluate the effect of ADVM-022 on CST
