Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Who Maintained Vision at Week 52 - Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)
At week 52

Maintenance of vision was defined as a loss of \< 15 letters in the ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) letter score (defined study baseline range of ETDRS Best Corrected Visual Acuity letter score of 73 to 25 (= Acuity of 20/40 to 20/320) in the study eye; a higher score represents better functioning. Nominator = (Number of participants who maintained vision \* 100); Denominator = Number of participants analyzed.

Percentage of Patients Who Maintained Vision at Week 52 - Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)
Baseline and at week 52

Defined "maintenance of vision" as patients who lost fewer than 15 letters in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score compared to baseline.

Frequently asked questions about ranibizumab

What is ranibizumab used for?

Ranibizumab is a monoclonal antibody being developed for macular degeneration, specifically wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and is considered investigational, meaning it has not yet been approved for use.

Who makes ranibizumab?

Ranibizumab is being developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol REGN. The company is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety in patients with macular degeneration.

What phase is ranibizumab in?

Ranibizumab is in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of macular degeneration. It is an investigational drug, and its safety and efficacy have not yet been fully established. The Phase 3 trials have been completed, but the drug has not received regulatory approval.

What clinical trials is ranibizumab in?

Ranibizumab has been studied in two Phase 3 clinical trials: NCT00509795 and NCT00637377. Both trials were completed and evaluated the efficacy and safety of the drug in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration. The trials enrolled a total of 2,457 participants across multiple countries.

How does ranibizumab work?

Ranibizumab targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that promotes the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye, which is a hallmark of wet age-related macular degeneration. By inhibiting VEGF, ranibizumab aims to reduce vascular leakage and prevent further vision loss.

Is ranibizumab the same as aflibercept?

Ranibizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets VEGF, while aflibercept is a different drug that also inhibits VEGF but is a fusion protein. Both are used for macular degeneration, but they are distinct molecules with different structures and are developed by different companies.
