Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Score at the Average of Week 36 and Week 40, as Assessed Using the ETDRS Visual Acuity Chart at a Starting Distance of 4 Meters
Baseline, and the average of Week 36 and Week 40

The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in BCVA score from baseline averaged over Weeks 36 and 40 with BCVA assessed using the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. ETDRS = Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study. The primary objective is to determine the NI and equivalence between the two treatment groups, as measured by the primary efficacy endpoint with a NI margin of 4.5 letters and equivalence margins of ± 4.5 letters. A vision score of 20/20 vision is considered normal. A score of 20/200 is considered being legally blind.

Secondary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in BCVA Score Averaged Over Week 60 and Week 64
Baseline, Week60, Week 64
Change From Baseline in BCVA Score Over Time
Baseline up to Week 96
Percentage of Participants With BCVA Score of 38 Letters (20/200 Approximate Snellen Equivalent) or Worse at the Average Over Week 36 and Week 40

Frequently asked questions about PDS filled with/mL Ranibizumab

What is PDS with ranibizumab used for?

PDS with ranibizumab, also called the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab, is used for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, also known as wet age-related macular degeneration. It is an investigational treatment designed to deliver ranibizumab continuously through an implant, and it is being studied as an alternative to monthly eye injections.

Who makes PDS with ranibizumab?

PDS with ranibizumab is developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. The Port Delivery System is an implant that releases ranibizumab over time, and the company is evaluating it in clinical trials for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

What phase is PDS with ranibizumab in?

PDS with ranibizumab is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 trial, NCT03677934, has been completed, and the treatment is being studied for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

What clinical trials is PDS with ranibizumab in?

PDS with ranibizumab has one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT03677934, which enrolled 415 participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The study compared the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab against monthly ranibizumab injections, and it was conducted in the United States.

Is PDS with ranibizumab the same as ranibizumab injections?

PDS with ranibizumab is not the same as standard ranibizumab injections. It is a Port Delivery System, an implant that releases ranibizumab continuously over time, whereas ranibizumab injections are given monthly. The Phase 3 trial compared the implant to monthly injections to evaluate its effectiveness.
