Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability)
Baseline to Week 12

Safety and Tolerability will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and CTC v4.0 (if available, otherwise protocol defined grading were used)

Phase 2a: Response Rate Defined as Proportion of Participants Receiving OPT-302 With Aflibercept Achieving at Least a 5-letter Gain in BCVA at Week 12
Baseline to Week 12

Change from baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) will be measured at Week 12 according to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Score (ETDRS) criteria

Frequently asked questions about Aflibercept

What is Aflibercept used for in Diabetic Macular Edema?

Aflibercept is being studied for use in Diabetic Macular Edema, a condition that causes vision loss due to fluid buildup in the macula. It is administered as part of a combination therapy with OPT-302, another investigational drug. The treatment is currently in clinical development and is not yet approved for this indication.

Who makes Aflibercept?

Aflibercept is being developed by Opthea Limited, a biopharmaceutical company. Opthea is listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol OPT. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with Diabetic Macular Edema.

What phase is Aflibercept in?

Aflibercept is currently in Phase 1 clinical development for Diabetic Macular Edema. A Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug is still investigational. It has not yet received FDA approval, and further clinical studies are needed to establish its safety and effectiveness.

What clinical trials is Aflibercept in?

Aflibercept has been studied in a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with the identifier NCT03397264. The trial was a dose-ranging study of OPT-302 combined with Aflibercept for persistent Diabetic Macular Edema. It enrolled 153 participants across the United States, Australia, Israel, and Latvia.

Is Aflibercept the same as OPT-302?

No, Aflibercept and OPT-302 are different drugs. Aflibercept is a monoclonal antibody being developed by Opthea Limited, while OPT-302 is a separate investigational agent. In the clinical trial, OPT-302 was given in combination with Aflibercept to treat Diabetic Macular Edema.
