Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change in visual acuity from baseline
from baseline at 3 years

Visual acuity is measured as a continuous integer letter score from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating better visual acuity. A letter score of 85 is approximately 20/20 and a letter score of 70 is approximately 20/40, the legal unrestricted driving limit in most states. A 5-letter change for an individual is approximately equal to a 1-line change on a vision chart.

Loss of 15 or more letters of visual acuity from baseline
from baseline at 3 years

Visual acuity is measured as a continuous integer letter score from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating better visual acuity. A letter score of 85 is approximately 20/20 and a letter score of 70 is approximately 20/40, the legal unrestricted driving limit in most states. A 5-letter change for an individual is approximately equal to a 1-line change on a vision chart.

Frequently asked questions about Faricimab

What is Faricimab used for in Radiation Retinopathy?

Faricimab is an investigational antibody being studied for the prevention of visual acuity loss due to Radiation Retinopathy. It is administered as intravitreal injections. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and is not yet approved for this indication.

What does Faricimab target?

Faricimab is a -mab, or monoclonal antibody, designed to target specific molecular pathways involved in retinal disease. As an antibody-based therapy, it is intended to interfere with disease processes that contribute to Radiation Retinopathy and visual impairment.

Who makes Faricimab?

Faricimab is being developed by ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol ANIP. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy for Radiation Retinopathy.

What phase is Faricimab in?

Faricimab is in Phase 3 clinical development for Radiation Retinopathy. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 3 trial is actively recruiting participants to assess its effectiveness.

What clinical trials is Faricimab in?

Faricimab is being studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial with the identifier NCT05844982. This randomized, active-controlled trial compares intravitreal Faricimab injections or fluocinolone acetonide implants versus observation for preventing vision loss due to Radiation Retinopathy. The trial enrolls 600 participants in the United States.

Is Faricimab the same as other treatments for Radiation Retinopathy?

Faricimab is a distinct investigational antibody being tested against an active comparator, fluocinolone acetonide, in a clinical trial. It is not described as being the same as any other drug. The trial is designed to evaluate whether Faricimab offers a benefit compared to observation or the comparator treatment.
