601 Versus Ranibizumab in Patients With Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO)

A Randomized, Double Masked, Multicenter, Phase II Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of 601 Versus Ranibizumab in Patients With Visual Impairment Due to Macular Edema Secondary to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO)

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody in patients with visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to CRVO

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: 601 1.25mg; Drug: Ranibizuman 0.5 mg

Detailed Description

Following a 14-day maximum screening period, patients will be randomized and followed for approximately 52 weeks. Treatment visits will be scheduled in 4-week intervals. After 6 initial monthly injections of 601 or ranibizumab (loading phase), subjects will enter an individualized flexible treatment (IFT) phase (week 24 to week 48). During the IFT phase, an assessment of disease stability will be performed at each monthly visit and subjects will receive either an injection or not. Safety and efficacy outcomes will continue to be evaluated up to a period of 52 weeks unless the patient is withdrawn or discontinues the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

For Study Eye:

• Concomitant conditions or ocular disorders in the study eye at screening or baseline which could, in the opinion of the investigator, prevent response to study treatment or may confound interpretation of study results, compromise visual acuity or require medical or surgical intervention during the first 12-month study period (e.g. scarring, fibrosis or atrophy of the fovea, dense subfoveal hard exudates, significant hemorrhage obscuring the macular, vitreous hemorrhage, vitreomacular traction, retinal vascular occlusion other than CRVO, retinal detachment, macular hole, or age-related macular degeneration，choroidal neovascularization of any cause, diabetic retinopathy (except mild non-proliferative) and diabetic macular edema).

Local laser photocoagulation, YAG laser treatment or any other ocular surgeries (e.g. cataract surgery ) in the study eye within 3 months prior to the baseline
• During the screening period, the BCVA is >10 letters improved (the BCVA detected within 24 hours before the administration at day 0 compared with the BCVA at the screening)

For Any Eye:

• Any eye has active ocular infections (e.g. blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, uveitis, endophthalmitis)
• Uncontrollable glaucoma (defined as intraocular pressure after antiglaucoma therapy>= 25 mm Hg), or the cup/disk ratio >0.8 in the study eye

General Exclusion Criteria:

• History of allergy to fluorescein sodium and allergies to protein products for treatment or diagnosis
• History of stroke (cerebrovascular accident), myocardial infarction, active disseminated intravascular coagulation or pronounced bleeding tendency in the past 6 months prior to baseline
• Diagnosed systemic immune diseases (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Behcet's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma etc.)
• any uncontrolled clinical problem (e.g. AIDS, active hepatitis, serious mental, neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory and other systemic diseases or malignant tumors, etc.). Malignant tumors with no metastasis or recurrence within 5 years or cancers in situ cancers are not excluded.
• Uncontrolled blood pressure control (defined as systolic blood pressure > 160 mmHg or diastolic pressure > 100 mmHg after antihypertensive medication
• History of surgery (except for healed minimally invasive surgery) and/or currently have unhealed wounds, moderate to severe ulcers, fractures, etc. within 1 month prior to baseline
