A Study to Comparing SCD411 and Eylea® in Subjects With Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

October 6, 2023 updated by: Sam Chun Dang Pharm. Co. Ltd.

A Phase III Randomized, Double-Masked, Parallel Group, Multicenter Study to Compare the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity Between SCD411 and Eylea® in Subjects With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in adults. Abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula at the back of the eye, and also leak blood and fluid, which damages and scars the macula, affecting vision. The current standard of care for patients with neovascular (exudative / wet) AMD is anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy, which prevents or slows down the growth of the abnormal blood vessels. SCD411 is being developed as a biosimilar to the reference product Eylea® (aflibercept), an anti-VEGF drug. The study aims to prove equivalence of SCD411 to Eylea in adults with wet AMD, and will look at safety, tolerance, effectiveness, immune response and the movement of the drug through the body.

  • Scar or fibrosis making up >50% of the total lesion.
  • Scar, fibrosis, or atrophy involving the center of the fovea in the study eye.
  • Presence of retinal pigment epithelial tears or rips involving the macular in the study eye.
  • Cataract in the study eye that have Lens Opacity Classification System II (LOCS II) grade IV cataract in the study eye or in the Investigator's opinion, interferes with visualization of retina or retinal imaging.
  • Inflammation outside the eyeball in either eye, or within the eyeball of the study eye.
  • History of any vitreous hemorrhage in the study eye.
