About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Active Comparator-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Faricimab in Patients With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (LUCERNE)

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, durability, and pharmacokinetics of faricimab administered at intervals as specified in the protocol, compared with aflibercept once every 8 weeks (Q8W), in participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Being tested
Faricimab, Aflibercept, Sham Procedure
Keywords
AMD, nAMD, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FaricimabDrug

    Also called VABYSMO™, RO6867461, RG7716

    Faricimab will be administered by intravitreal injection into the study eye at intervals as specified in the study protocol.

  • AfliberceptDrug

    Also called Eylea

    Aflibercept will be administered by intravitreal injection into the study eye once every 4 weeks for 3 consecutive months, followed by once every 8 weeks (Q8W).

  • Sham ProcedureProcedure or surgery

    The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal injection, but involves the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) being pressed against the anesthetized eye. It will be administered to participants in both treatment arms at applicable visits to maintain masking.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in BCVA in the Study Eye Averaged Over Weeks 40, 44, and 48

    Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. The BCVA letter score ranges from 0 to 100 (best score), and a gain in BCVA from baseline indicates an improvement in visual acuity. The Mixed Model of Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis adjusted for treatment arm, visit, visit-by-treatment arm interaction, baseline BCVA (continuous), baseline BCVA (≥74, 73-55, and ≤54 letters), baseline LLD (<33 and ≥33 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world). An unstructured covariance structure was used. Treatment policy strategy (i.e., all observed values used) and hypothetical strategy (i.e., all values censored after occurrence of the intercurrent event) were applied to non-COVID-19 related and COVID-19 related intercurrent events, respectively. Missing data were implicitly imputed by MMRM. Invalid BCVA values were excluded from analysis. 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.

    Measured: From Baseline through Week 48

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, and 112

  3. Percentage of Participants Gaining Greater Than or Equal to (≥)15, ≥10, ≥5, or ≥0 Letters From the Baseline BCVA in the Study Eye Averaged Over Weeks 40, 44, and 48

    BCVA was measured on the ETDRS chart at a starting distance of 4 meters. The BCVA letter score ranges from 0 to 100 (best score), and a gain in BCVA from baseline indicates an improvement in visual acuity. For each participant, an average BCVA value was calculated across the three visits, and this averaged value was used to determine if the endpoint was met. The results were summarized as the percentage of participants per treatment arm who met the endpoint. The weighted percentage of participants was based on the Cochran-Mantel Haenszel (CMH) weights stratified by baseline BCVA (≥74 letters, 73-55 letters, and ≤54 letters), baseline LLD (≥33 letters and <33 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada vs. rest of the world). Treatment policy strategy and hypothetical strategy were applied to non-COVID-19 related and COVID-19 related intercurrent events, respectively. Missing data were not imputed. Invalid BCVA values were excluded. 95% confidence interval (CI) is a rounding of 95.03% CI.

    This analysis of adverse events (AEs) only includes non-ocular (systemic) AEs. Multiple occurrences of the same AE in one individual are counted only once. Investigators sought information on AEs at each contact with the participants. All AEs were recorded and the investigator made an assessment of seriousness, severity, and causality of each AE. The non-ocular AE of special interest was: Cases of potential drug-induced liver injury that include an elevated ALT or AST in combination with either an elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice, as defined by Hy's Law.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug through end of study (up to 112 weeks)

  41. Plasma Concentration of Faricimab Over Time

    Faricimab concentration in plasma was determined using a validated immunoassay method.

    Measured: Pre-dose at Baseline, Weeks 4, 16, 20, 48, 76, and 112

  42. Percentage of Participants Who Tested Positive for Treatment-Emergent Anti-Drug Antibodies Against Faricimab During the Study

    Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against fariciamb were detected in plasma using a validated bridging enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The percentage of participants with treatment-emergent ADA-positive samples includes post-baseline evaluable participants with at least one treatment-induced (defined as having an ADA-negative sample or missing sample at baseline and any positive post-baseline sample) or treatment-boosted (defined as having an ADA-positive sample at baseline and any positive post-baseline sample with a titer that is equal to or greater than 4-fold baseline titer) ADA-positive sample during the study treatment period.

    Measured: Pre-dose at Baseline, Weeks 4, 20, 48, 76, and 112

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Faricimab and Aflibercept in people with Wet Macular Degeneration, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 137 sites in 21 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 137 sites in United States, China, Australia, France, South Korea and 16 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 May 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in BCVA in the Study Eye Averaged Over Weeks 40, 44, and 48 (time frame: From Baseline through Week 48). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03823300, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jul 2025.
