Official title: A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Active Comparator-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Faricimab in Patients With Macular Edema Secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, active comparator-controlled, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of faricimab administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection at 4-week intervals until Week 24, followed by a double-masked period of study without active control to evaluate faricimab administered according to a personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen in participants with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
- Conditions
- Macular Edema, Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
- Being tested
- Faricimab, Aflibercept, Sham Procedure

- Medical subject headings
- Macular Edema, Retinal Vein Occlusion
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FaricimabDrug
Also called VABYSMO®, faricimab-svoa, RO6867461, RG7716
Faricimab will be administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection as specified in each treatment arm.
AfliberceptDrug
Also called Eylea
Aflibercept 2 mg will be administered by IVT injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W) from Day 1 through Week 20 (a total of 6 injections).
Sham ProcedureProcedure or surgery
The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal (IVT) 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 treatments arms at applicable visits to maintain masking.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Arm A: Faricimab Q4W (Part 1), Faricimab PTI (Part 2) | Experimental | In Part 1 (Day 1 through Week 24), participants randomly assigned to Arm A will receive faricimab 6 milligrams (mg) by IVT injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W) from Day 1 through Week 20 (a total of 6 injections). In Part 2 (from Week 24 to Week 72), participants will receive faricimab 6 mg by IVT injection according to a personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen. To preserve masking for Part 2, a sham procedure will be administered during study visits at which no faricimab treatment is administered (according to the PTI dosing regimen). Receives: Drug: Faricimab; Procedure: Sham Procedure |
| Arm B: Aflibercept Q4W (Part 1), Faricimab PTI (Part 2) | Active comparator | In Part 1 (Day 1 through Week 24), participants randomly assigned to Arm B will receive aflibercept 2 milligrams (mg) by IVT injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W) from Day 1 through Week 20 (a total of 6 injections). In Part 2 (from Week 24 to Week 72), participants will receive faricimab 6 mg by IVT injection according to a personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen. To preserve masking for Part 2, a sham procedure will be administered during study visits at which no faricimab treatment is administered (according to the PTI dosing regimen). Receives: Drug: Faricimab; Drug: Aflibercept; Procedure: Sham Procedure |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye at Week 24
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 included the categorical covariates of treatment arm, visit, visit-by-treatment arm interaction, baseline BCVA (continuous), and randomization stratification factors [baseline BCVA (≥55 and ≤54 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)] as fixed effects. An unstructured covariance structure was used. Missing data were implicitly imputed by MMRM model assuming missing at random. Treatment policy strategy (i.e., all observed values used) was applied to all intercurrent events (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.
Measured: From Baseline through Week 24

The weighted percentage of participants was estimated based on the Cochran-Mantel Haenszel (CMH) weights stratified by randomization stratification factors [baseline BCVA (≥55 and ≤54 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)]. All observed values were used regardless of the occurrence of an intercurrent event (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). Missing assessments were imputed by last observation carried forward. 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.
Measured: Weeks 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, and 72

Part 2: Percentage of Participants on Different Treatment Intervals at Week 68
In Part 2 of the study, participants in both the faricimab Q4W and aflibercept Q4W arms in Part 1 received 6 mg faricimab intravitreal injections administered according to a personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen in intervals between Q4W and Q16W. At faricimab dosing visits, treatment intervals were maintained or adjusted (i.e., increased by 4 weeks or decreased by 4, 8, or 12 weeks), based on central subfield thickness (CST) and BCVA values.
Measured: Week 68
Part 2: Number of Study Drug Injections Received in the Study Eye From Week 24 Through Week 72
Measured: From Week 24 to Week 72
Incidence and Severity of Ocular Adverse Events in the Study Eye, With Severity Determined According to Adverse Event Severity Grading Scale
This analysis of adverse events (AEs) only includes ocular AEs that occurred in the study eye. 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. Ocular AEs of special interest included the following: Suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study drug; Sight-threatening AEs that cause a drop in visual acuity (VA) score ≥30 letters lasting more than 1 hour, require surgical or medical intervention to prevent permanent loss of sight, or are associated with severe intraocular inflammation (IOI).
Measured: Part 1: From first dose up to Week 24; Part 2: from Week 24 through Week 72
Incidence of Ocular Adverse Events in the Fellow Eye
This analysis of adverse events (AEs) only includes ocular AEs that occurred in the fellow eye. 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. Ocular AEs of special interest included the following: Suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study drug; Sight-threatening AEs that cause a drop in visual acuity (VA) score ≥30 letters lasting more than 1 hour, require surgical or medical intervention to prevent permanent loss of sight, or are associated with severe intraocular inflammation (IOI).
Measured: Part 1: From first dose up to Week 24; Part 2: from Week 24 through Week 72
Incidence of Non-Ocular Adverse Events
This analysis of adverse events (AEs) only includes non-ocular (systemic) AEs. Investigators sought information on adverse events (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: Part 1: From first dose up to Week 24; Part 2: from Week 24 through Week 72
Plasma Concentration of Faricimab Over Time
Measured: Predose at Day 1 (Baseline), Weeks 4, 24, 28, 52, and 72
Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Faricimab at Baseline and Post-Baseline During the Study
Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against fariciamb were detected in plasma using a validated bridging enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The number 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. Treatment-unaffected ADA-positive is a post-baseline sample with a titer that is lower than 4-fold the ADA-positive baseline titer (faricimab arm) or the ADA-positive titer prior to first faricimab injection (aflibercept arm).
Measured: Predose at Day 1 (Baseline), Weeks 4, 24, 28, 52, and 72

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, active comparator-controlled, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of faricimab administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection at 4-week intervals until Week 24, followed by a double-masked period of study without active control to evaluate faricimab administered according to a personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen in participants with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Primary outcome
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in the Study Eye at Week 24
Time frame: From Baseline through Week 24
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 included the categorical covariates of treatment arm, visit, visit-by-treatment arm interaction, baseline BCVA (continuous), and randomization stratification factors [baseline BCVA (≥55 and ≤54 letters), and region (U.S. and Canada, Asia, and rest of the world)] as fixed effects. An unstructured covariance structure was used. Missing data were implicitly imputed by MMRM model assuming missing at random. Treatment policy strategy (i.e., all observed values used) was applied to all intercurrent events (discontinuation of treatment due to AEs or lack of efficacy, use of prohibited therapy). 95% CI is a rounding of 95.03% CI.

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?
