About this trial

This is a sequential Phase 1/2, two-part, multicenter study on safety, tolerability, and efficacy of one-time intravitreal SAR446597 for the treatment of participants with Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

The core phase duration will be approximately 2 years for each participant. An Extended Follow-Up (EFU) phase of 3 years follows the core phase.

The treatment is a one-time intravitreal injection of SAR446597 (or sham as applicable in Part II).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

60 years old or above

Participants with diagnosis of GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

Study eye with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ETDRS Snellen equivalent for dose escalation (Part I) between 20/40 and 20/320 and for expansion (Part II) equal or better than 20/200

Study eye with GA lesion measuring between 2.5 and 17.5 mm2 for dose escalation (Part I) and between 2.5 and 14.0 mm2 for expansion (Part II). For multifocal disease, study eye with at least one single lesion of more than 1.25mm2 for both Part I and Part II

Disqualifiers

GA in the study eye caused by a disease different than AMD

Presence of neovascularization or a history of treatment with an anti vascular endothelial growth factor agent in the study eye

Any condition or treatment (ocular or systemic) or medical or surgical history in the study eye that may prevent visual acuity improvement or interfere with ocular safety or efficacy assessments

Current or history of systemic complement targeting treatment in the past 12 months
