Stable vision was defined as vision loss of fewer than 15 letters in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) from baseline. BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The percentage of participants with a BCVA loss of fewer than 15 letters are reported. Study eye was defined as the eye that meets the entry criteria. If both the eyes met all of the entry criteria, the eye with worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected. If BCVA values for both eyes were identical then participant had to select the non-dominant eye, or else right eye was selected as study eye.
Stable vision was defined as a loss of fewer than 15 letters in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) compared to baseline. BCVA was measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly using the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved. The study eye was defined as the eye that meets the entry criteria. If both eyes met the entry criteria, the eye with the worse BCVA at baseline (Day 1) was selected as the study eye. If both eyes had same BCVA values at baseline (Day 1), then the participant had to select their non-dominant eye for treatment, or else the right eye was selected as the study eye.
BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eye. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase (positive number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved and a decrease (negative number change from baseline) in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has worsened.

Abicipar pegol is an investigational ophthalmic drug developed by AbbVie Inc. (ticker ABBV) for retinal conditions. It is being studied for macular degeneration and macular edema and is administered as an intravitreal injection into the eye. It remains in clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA.
Abicipar pegol is being studied for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration, a form of macular degeneration marked by abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina. Clinical trials have also enrolled patients with macular edema. It is an investigational therapy and is not approved for commercial use.
Abicipar pegol targets VEGFA, vascular endothelial growth factor A. It acts as an inhibitor of this target, which is a protein that drives the abnormal blood vessel formation and leakage seen in neovascular retinal diseases. By inhibiting VEGFA, the drug aims to reduce the vascular changes associated with macular degeneration.
Abicipar pegol is developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the company responsible for the clinical development program for this investigational ophthalmology asset.
Abicipar pegol has reached Phase 3 clinical development. Its clinical program includes Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 studies, all of which are completed. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.
Abicipar pegol has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT02462928, a Phase 3 study in neovascular age-related macular degeneration with 939 participants, NCT03539549, a Phase 2 study with 124 participants, and the Phase 1 studies NCT03335852 and NCT02859766. All seven trials in the program are completed.
